With its continuous success, Gonzaga University has become a national powerhouse and with the stage set for the undefeated Bulldogs to play in the NCAA National Championship game this week, excitement continues to mount for local fans because of one former Rancho Christian High School standout, Dominick Harris. Harris played alongside Evan and Isaiah Mobley at Rancho Christian and was even with them for all their glory during their CIF Southern Section championship days and their Division 1 playoff appearances as well as their CIF State appearances. The Mobley brothers, who now play for University of Southern California, were beat by Gonzaga (31-0) in their Final Four matchup this past weekend, 85-66, and after Gonzaga’s Jalen Suggs hit a

Historic Hemet Theatre readies for reopening Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Artist Dan Melendez dedicated the past several months to bringing the Golden Age of Hollywood back to the lobby of the Historic Hemet Theatre. The COVID-19 pandemic, which closed the venue to live concerts and other social events since March 2020, gave volunteers of the nonprofit Historic Hemet Theatre Foundation time to regroup and concentrate on a much-needed renovation to the 100-year-old cornerstone of downtown Hemet. When Melendez was approached to lend his talent to the project, he put a lot of thought into how to create a feeling of elegance by studying classics such as Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and the Hollywood Pantages Theatre, both built during the height of the

High school students create coloring book Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Members of the National Honor Society chapter at Western Center Academy in Hemet recently produced a coloring book for elementary students in the Hemet Unified School district. The coloring book, titled “Our Solar System,” focuses on the science of space. The student organization stresses the values of scholarship, service, leadership, character and citizenship. Kathleen Hartigan and Melanie Thornburg serve as advisers for about 25 members at the school. “We typically do science nights where we put on educational activities at elementary schools here in Hemet,” chapter secretary Austin Montgomery said. “We get to teach the young kiddos about science and natural phenomena in an exciting way like bending water as it falls or light reflection with lasers.” When COVID-19 prevented in-person lessons, the students still wanted to teach younger children in the district as much as they could about science while continuing their outreach efforts. They decided to create a coloring and activity book and a series of videos that guide students through handson activities. Children access the videos with QR codes on some of the book’s pages. The activities and experiments were tested on their younger siblings.

“This was really a studentdriven project that came out of an extensive brainstorming session over several weeks,” Thornburg said. “As a chapter, we have loved going to elementary schools and doing science demonstrations and experiments with the students. We missed the kids, and from that developed the idea of providing students with an opportunity to participate from home in an interactive activity that would be fun and educational.” Chapter president Byron Gonzalez said when the group decided creating the coloring book would be their project, they divided into four groups to address the different components of its development.

“The beginning was the most difficult part,” he said. “Adapting to a whole new environment was not just difficult for me but all the members of NHS. This made communication, working as a group, and completing the coloring book difficult. When I saw all the pieces of the puzzle coming together, I was in so much joy. It is a reminder that our chapter will continue to serve our community in times of hardship.” Most of the planning was done during weekly NHS meetings, held virtually during the designated lunch period. “There definitely was a major contribution outside of our meeting times,” Montgomery said. “All

of the instructional videos, the art for the coloring pages and the editing for videos was all done on the members’ own time. But that is just how it works in NHS – it’s all about giving and sacrificing your own time to be of service to others.” Each NHS officer, all seniors, coordinated a different aspect of the project with Gonzalez overseeing all group work and organizing communication between the groups. Club vice resident Kimberly Stauffer created the artwork and activities for the physical coloring book, including the cover, with assistance from Genesis Brillante, Elijahua Contreras, Ahnika Pena, Chloe Peterson and Ashley Webster. Members of the WCA Art Club who contributed were Cassandra Adriatico, Jacqueline Alejandrino, Emma Avila, Jacob Chamberland and Alexa Guerrero. “(This project) united our school’s art club with NHS,” Gonzalez said. “I love collaboration, so it was nice to get other students on board to help; and all the pages were well-drawn and are beautiful.” Historian Jonathan Thompson oversaw the social mediamaintained website, Instagram

account, YouTube channel and publicity with assist from Joshua Cordero, Melanie Hernandez and Yisela Luquin. Montgomery created video introductions and music and did all video editing with help from Jessie Goodson, Christopher Huerta, Chloe Peterson and Benjamin Uribe, who also created the soundtrack for the videos. Treasurer Dylan Gulliford created the science experiment and activity videos with his team: Alexandra Cosma, Samantha Estrada, Ariana Ma, Kayla Martinez, Diane Montellano, Madison Thompson, Isabella Troung and Sianna Xiao. “We created the coloring book for elementary students; however, we’re finding that the response has been great from a broader range of ages and has given an opportunity for families to work together on the coloring pages and activities,” Thornburg said. More than 5,000 books have been printed and distributed to seven Hemet Unified School District elementary schools. “I want to expose (younger) students to passions they may not know about,” Gonzalez said. “I always hope to spark a passion or interest in their lives.”

Menifee residents enjoy the city’s drive-thru Spring Fest Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Dozens of small children were delighted Saturday, April 3, to be greeted by the Easter Bunny and gather a few eggs and other treats at the Menifee Spring Fest, which was held as a drive-thru event at the Kay Ceniceros Senior Center on Newport Road in Menifee. The entire event, which usually features thousands of colorful eggs spread over grassy fields for Menifee children to gather, was canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, since the COVID-19 precautions were still in place, the employees of the Menifee Community Services Department and local businesses put together the annual Menifee Spring Fest as a drive-thru event complete with plastic eggs filled with candy, treats, books and other goodies for area children. The senior center parking lot was decorated with balloons and kiosks, and the Easter Bunny and the Community Services crew waited to greet the 350 residents and their children who signed up

for the special event. The children played games from their vehicles, tossing rings around flower pots and into decorated boxes to win prizes as their parents drove by. Members of Menifee Rotary Club, REMAX Generations Cynthia Nemelka, local youth and others volunteered in the tents and kiosks to monitor the games and hand out treats. “This is really great,” Rene Romero said with his daughter Emma, son Mathias and wife Yolonda in their SUV. “I didn’t expect this, you know. We are new residents to the city.” Her daughter Emma won a prized candy-filled Easter egg from the Community Services Youth booth for tossing an egg into a basket from the vehicle window. The Hemet Public Library donated more than 300 children’s “Happy Easter” books written by author and illustrator Margaret and H.A. Rey gave that away to the children along with a basket of special straws, bottled water, information packets and other things. Tony Ault can be reached by email at tault@reedermedia.com.

The Easter children’s book, Margaret and H.A Rey’s “Happy Easter,” is among the gifts handed out by Menifee Community Services employees Richard Melrose and Chelsea Bollinger during Menifee’s drivethru Spring Fest that brought 350 guests and their children Saturday, April 3.

Countywide COVID-19 hospitalizations fell to one-year low City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

COVID-19-positive hospitalizations in Riverside County fell below 100 Monday, April 5, representing a one-year low as the county awaits confirmation that it will be moved into an even less restrictive tier under the governor’s public health regulatory apparatus. According to the Riverside University Health System, 97 people diagnosed with coronavirus were being treated in hospitals countywide as of Monday, down from 104 Friday, April 2. That number includes 23 patients in intensive care units, two less than at the end of last week. The drop below 100 puts the COVID hospital count where it was in April 2020, when hospitalization figures were first reported

by RUHS. Not even during the downtrend in hospitalizations countywide in late September and early October did numbers fall to 100 or less. With trends and metrics continuing to move toward recovery, officials are anticipating that, as early as Tuesday, April 6, after press time, the county could be designated in the orange tier under the governor’s “Blueprint for a Safer Economy” framework. It has been in the red tier since March 16. In the five months before that, it was in the most restrictive purple tier. The lowering of the regulatory bar three weeks ago raised the capacity limit to 25% for most businesses. The orange designation would increase the cap to 50% for many entities, though some, such as gyms and amusement parks, would be required to remain at

25%, according to the California Department of Public Health. The aggregate number of COVID cases recorded since the public health documentation period began in March 2020 is 295,426, up 690 from Friday. No data was released over the weekend. Officials reported 27 additional COVID-19 fatalities Monday, bringing to 4,389 the number of deaths from virus-related complications recorded in the last year. The fatalities are trailing indicators because of delays processing death certificates. The number of known active virus cases countywide was 2,795 as of Monday, up 257. The active count is derived by subtracting deaths and recoveries from the current total – 295,426 – according to the county Executive Office. Last week, the CDPH lowered

vaccination eligibility to anyone 50 and up. Beginning Tuesday, residents as young as 16 years old will be eligible for immunization at one of four county health clinics. Only the Pfizer vaccine is available to 16-year-olds, who must have a parent or guardian provide consent for a shot. The eligibility threshold to include everyone as young as 16 was supposed to occur statewide Thursday, April 15. Executive Office representative Brooke Federico told City News Service that because the county is now well stocked on vaccines and fewer people are making appointments at clinics, the decision was made to move forward with adjusting the eligibility criteria now. Before dropping to 50 years old last week, the Phase 1 parameters had limited shots to those over 65,

as well as individuals in defined work classifications, such as first responders, teachers and agricultural workers. People with certain underlying health conditions or disabilities were also eligible. The 2.3% coronavirus positivity rate in testing represents a six-month low and is down from 2.7% two weeks ago. The daily state-adjusted case rate of 4.1 per 100,000 residents, which reflects a rolling seven-day average, is down from 4.8 per 100,000 just over a week ago. The portal to make an appointment for vaccination at county-run and other sites can be accessed via http://www.rivcoph.org/COVID19-Vaccine. Anyone who needs assistance may also call the county’s 211 help line.

Golden Era running team against drugs joins Valley-Wide Recreation in Bunny Hop Run Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District sponsored the virtual Bunny Hop Run for visitors to their 40 parks and facilities across the valley. The runs, which are held during the week of Easter, provide family programs and promote parks facilities, community involvement and healthy lifestyles, according to the park district. One of the first running teams to respond to the Valley-Wide challenge was the Golden Era Productions Truth About Drugs Running Team with 10 members this year. The Golden Era Productions’ running team, whose purpose is to promote drug-free living by raising awareness of the truth about harmful drugs, ran the virtual Bunny Hop Run through the Golden Era Productions campus. During their run, the team said they wanted to alert local families to an illegal drug that has been hitting Riverside County hard – the synthetic painkiller fentanyl. Fentanyl, 50 times more potent

than heroin and 100 times more powerful than morphine, can kill in just two minutes after ingestion of only two grains. Riverside County reported 227 fentanyl-related deaths in 2020. Dealers of illegal drugs are known to lace heroin and opioids such as oxycodone with fentanyl and sell it to unsuspecting users. The Riverside district attorney is charging fentanyl dealers with second degree murder in connection with deaths from fentanyl toxicity. Golden Era Productions Truth About Drugs Running Team from San Jacinto urged community partners to help save lives by increasing awareness of fentanyl and help young people make informed decisions to live drug-free lives. The Truth About Drugs is a comprehensive international nongovernmental drug educational and prevention program. Produced by the Foundation for a DrugFree World, its videos, booklets and teaching aids and free online courses are available in 20 languages. According to educators, the ma-

Mobile exhibit in Wildomar tells the stories of American veterans Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Stories of true American heroes fighting in the nation’s wars, their patriotism and their sacrifice will shown in a visiting mobile exhibit from Wreaths Across America Monday, April 26, from 1:30-4:30

THEATRE from page A-1 Art Deco period. Susan Carrier, CEO and foundation board president, worked closely with Downtown Deli owner Steve Covington on interior design ideas for the vintage movie house before Melendez came on board. After Covington’s death in 2019, Carrier gave one of his sketches to Melendez to serve as the basis for the mural that greets guests when they enter the lobby. “This mural is an homage to Steve, to keep his memory alive,” Melendez said. When the theater’s programming director Bryan Carrier died in October 2020, Susan Carrier agreed to have Melendez add her husband’s face to the box office window as part of the mural. “That was my dedication to

organization’s volunteers. The Wreaths Across America’s purpose is to bring local communities and the military together to share stories of patriotism and love of country. Also, the nonprofit helps teach the next generation about service and sacrifice while honoring and re-

Bryan; without him I never would have been asked to do this,” Melendez said. The new logo also boasts an Art Deco style and has been painted on many interior doors and walls. The first mural Melendez painted includes a life-size portrait of Marilyn Monroe in a regal pose that fits right in with the lobby’s new look. Melendez’s art career spans the past 40 years with commissions from Budweiser, the Detroit Red Wings and Bass Pro Shops as well as many sports and retail venues. Originally from Southern California, he lived in Michigan for many years before moving to Hemet to be closer to family. “This project became more a labor of love for me,” Melendez said. “My approach would have been a little different if the theater

had been open while I was here painting. Because I had no time constraints, I was able to add little things as I went along. I think it’s great that the foundation did this for the community. Their attention to detail throughout this whole renovation project shows people they care.” The HHT Foundation still needs donations to help with expenses during the reopening that is planned for June, when concerts are currently scheduled to resume. Grants and an SBA loan have sustained them through the closures, but additional funds will allow them to take on a couple of special projects, such as hanging $30,000 worth of donated surround-sound speakers so the theater can once again show first-run movies. The foundation is also asking community members to volunteer

Grazing Theory elevates eating

Grazing Theory, a catering company offering specialty hand crafted charcuterie and workshops, is located at Vail Headquarters in Valley News/Courtesy photo Temecula.

Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

When Gina LaMora moved to Temecula in late 2018, she wanted to share her experience of bringing people together over an appealing and appetizing charcuterie, a French term referring to the art of preparing and assembling cured meats and meat products. The process has evolved to include a variety of foods besides meat, and LaMora also offers enticing cheese boards at Grazing Theory, her catering company. “Grazing means to ‘graze,’ which is a new style of enjoying food. Every guest can combine different

elements and discover new flavor profiles with each bite,” LaMora said. “My ‘theory’ is that friendships are formed and strengthened when breaking bread (cheese) together.” As the creator, operator and sole owner of Grazing Theory, LaMora moved her company to Vail Headquarters in November. Thanks to decades of preservation and restoration efforts, Vail Headquarters is a living historic park and a destination for specialty restaurants, boutique stores and special events. “Vail HQ is family friendly and parents can still enjoy a day/evening out with children. I have a family with young children, and I know

how challenging it can be to have them sit still at a dinner table. The playground and grass areas are perfect for children to run around while moms and dads enjoy a lavish charcuterie board and a glass of wine,” LaMora said. “Vail is also conveniently located to Wine Country. Clients can pre-order their lavish charcuterie boards and pick them up on the way to wine tasting.” She said she has always had a love for hosting friends and family and creating an experience that will leave guests with a “wow” feeling at the end of the night. “This includes a welcome cocktail, mood lighting, a beautiful tablescape and to start all that off, a lavish charcuterie board,” LaMora said. Workshops are a big part of Grazing Theory; the first one was hosted at Akash Winery with 24 attendees. The largest workshop to date was hosted at Peltzer Family Cellars and was attended by 68 people. Currently, workshops are hosted at the company’s wine and cheese shop and at The Craft House Temecula at Vail Headquarters. “I teach each charcuterie workshop myself,” LaMora said. “I do invite local winemakers to join me and feature their wines. We offer a trio wine and cheese pairing before the start of each workshop. My entire team is trained to know how to build the workshop board and assist during larger workshops. I love giving other businesses a platform to share their passion. I also work with a lot of business owners in Temecula and love collaborating on events.” The pandemic did affect her workshops, as two sold-out events scheduled for March 2020 were canceled. All in-person workshops were put on hold, but LaMora said she quickly pivoted and became a cheese board delivery service since no one was able to enjoy them at wineries or get-togethers during that time. “We partnered up with Temecula Valley Wineries, including Marshall

Stuart Wines, Peltzer Winery, Masia de la Vinya Winery, Danza del Sol Winery, Akash Winery, Ponte and Lorenzi, to offer a service that didn’t exist before,” she said. “When clients would order a lavish charcuterie board, we would pick up their wine orders too and deliver both to their front door.” LaMora also added virtual workshops. She said it offered a great option for businesses in lieu of an annual Christmas party or a chance for family members to join each other virtually for a fun activity. Grazing Theory currently offers private and public virtual and inperson workshops. Using locally sourced ingredients for her creations is important to LaMora and something she is most proud of at Grazing Theory. “I seek out and find the best local purveyors Temecula has to offer,” she said. “Mrs. G’s Jellies is our hot pepper jelly provider, Fresh from the Hive provides us with honey jars and raw honeycomb,

Kenny’s Strawberry Farm is our berry provider and we offer wines from local wineries. We don’t create your average cheese board.” LaMora lives in Temecula with her husband Justin, two sons and their puggle Olive. “We have a team of grazing gals and guys at Grazing Theory,” LaMora said. “We currently have a full-time staff of four employees, a part-time consulting sommelier, Samantha Cerovich, and another part-time employee. My company is rapidly growing, and we are looking for vibrant, energetic, fast-paced and hard-working members to join our team. We are looking to fill positions from production to front of the house.” Grazing Theory Wine & Cheese Shop, at 32127-C Temecula Parkway, is hosting a sushi workshop with KRFTD Sushi from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, April 15.

Rancho Springs facilities and operations prove invaluable during pandemic Timothy Daniel SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

One doctor of nuclear medicine in Henderson, Nevada, said he knew the coronavirus pandemic was serious and dangerous, but like many health care professionals, “preparedness and immediacy was paramount for everyone involved when the pandemic hit. A team effort is a must from everyone within every hospital in the U.S. for this disease or we will

all lose.” Alex Munoz is just one of those medical professionals who was part of a medical team in the Murrieta Valley that helped treat and save lives without having the medical title letters in front of his name. “I started out in aviation maintenance in the military and then worked in health care maintenance for the last 15 years,” Munoz, who is now the director of plant operations for the Southwest Healthcare

System, which includes Rancho Springs Medical Center and Inland Valley Medical Center, said. “When the pandemic hit, I was hired right away as the director.” While many America’s doctors and nurses have been rightfully labeled heroes in doing whatever they possibly can to save lives through this pandemic, Munoz is one of those professionals that has a little different of a hero cape – creating negative pressure isolation rooms.

• Would you enjoy using state-of-the-art tools to create cost-effective multimedia advertising and marketing campaigns to help local businesses target their best customers and increase profits/business? • Would you love researching and reporting with cutting edge technologies to better help your customers succeed against their competitors? • Do you empathize with and have great respect for local businesses and nonprofits? • Would you enjoy working with an experienced and friendly support team? • Do you have an appreciation for traditional time tested advertising mediums as well as an excitement for newer technologies like geo-fencing, geo-targeting, video and OTT/CTV?

“Working with our infection prevention teams, we needed to increase our negative pressure isolation rooms,” Munoz said. Negative pressure isolation rooms use air pressure from adjacent corridors where there is air supply, and it exhausts the air out through either a HEPA filter or exhaust system out through the roof. These types of rooms are mainly used for respiratory disease patients which fits the mold for the coronavirus. “These rooms are not as common as you would think,” he said. “We are required to have so many negative pressure rooms based on the number of beds we have originally through both campuses (Rancho Springs and Inland Valley Medical Centers). But what COVID-19 did was throw us a curve ball of the normal patient room that doesn’t require the negative pressure room.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended placing COVID-19 patients in these types of rooms, but according to Munoz, “Many hospitals are lucky enough to have only enough negative pressure rooms based on the number of total beds per hospital. That is the greatest challenge we have.” According to Ashlee Collins, marketing manager of Southwest Healthcare System, said, “The Southwest Healthcare System made a great decision with their addition of Munoz in 2020.” In what can be called some very “creative engineering across the board,” Munoz, along with his fellow mechanical technicians and operations staff, created a small external ducted system that met all the COVID-19 requirements. The Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, a California health care regulatory

agency, noticed the design Munoz and his mechanic specialists built during a COVID-19 patient surge from Thanksgiving to the turn of the 2020 year. “OSHPD came out and noticed our design and the model we had built and was impressed in what he had done,” Munoz said. “In fact, they spoke very highly of the design used in our Ranch Springs campus as an example for other health care facilities to follow.” COVID-19 did create some operational changes in health care delivery according to Chris Tokas, deputy division chief of the facilities development division for OSHPD. Their goal was to isolate and treat infectious patients while continuing to provide vital services that keep people healthy. “Everyone in the hospital, including our everyday housekeepers hunkered down and made sure everything was clean and safe for current patients in the rooms and for the next patients coming in,” Munoz said. The Francis J. Curry National Tuberculosis Center in San Francisco said a properly designed and operating isolation room can be an effective infection control measure. Infectious airborne particles are contained within the room, and the concentration of these particles inside the room is reduced. “The best part of this project is that it is a collaborative effort amongst some great health care and operations specialists to make sure that the air flow was safe for the patients but also safe for the environment,” according to Munoz. In the middle of a pandemic, Munoz, his staff and the Southwest Healthcare System took steps to safely treat not only people in southwest Riverside County, but hospitals across the country as well.

Valley highway construction work to startup this week

Caltrans says SR 79 rehab is completed Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Motorists received a break from highway construction work through Easter Sunday, April 4, with new work soon to begin again on the Railroad Canyon Road/ Interstate 15 interchange. Riverside County Transportation Commission did not close parts of the I-15 and Railroad Canyon Interchange for work recently. RCTC is the lead agency for this project that will improve safety and capacity by adding lanes, modifying ramps and building sidewalks and bike lanes along Railroad Canyon Road. These improvements will help residents and other travelers move through this area and reach businesses and other “Dream Extreme” attractions in Lake Elsinore. As this new week begins, RCTC asked motorists in the area to expect periodic closures to lanes and ramps, slow down, allow extra travel time, watch for construction crews and equipment, be alert to changing conditions, follow detours, and stay informed by checking construction updates, social media and mapping apps. No work was done by Caltrans last week on Highway 60 between Beaumont and Moreno Valley with much of the work being done near the Gilman Springs Road on and off ramps. This week with weather permitting Caltrans expected its crews to finish up any repairs to westbound Route 60, providing a safer ride for motorists. The Gilman Springs Road Project, from 1.4 miles west of

Jackrabbit Trail through the SR 60 truck lanes, is widening the 4.5-mile section of the highway between the two cities. The new truck lanes are expected to open in 2022. Motorists this week can follow the project @60Trucklanes on social media for the latest construction information. In other news from Caltrans, the highway department announced that the $8.5 million pavement rehabilitation project on SR 79 in western Riverside County near Temecula is completed. The project was made possible with funding from Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. The new pavement is providing a smoother travel experience for local motorists, commercial truckers and recreationists who use this route on a daily basis. “This project demonstrates the significant impact of SB 1 funding on our ability to fix the state’s aging infrastructure and enhance the movement of people and goods throughout Southern California,” Toks Omishakin, director of Caltrans, said. “SR 79 is a major commuter route for local residents as well as a gateway delivering tourists to the Temecula Valley Wine Country.” The project began in fall 2019 and repaved 15 miles of pavement on SR 79 from 5 miles south of state Route 74 to the San Diego County line. The SB-1 funding also supplied upgrades to guardrails and installed American with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps. Tony Ault can be reached by email at tault@reedermedia.com.

Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

At the end of May, 10 nonprofit organizations will benefit from the ninth annual Soboba Foundation harity olf Tournament, which will be held at Soboba Springs olf ourse in San acinto. After an extensive selection process by Soboba Foundation board members, the following nonprofits will each receive a 10,000 grant are-A-Van Transit System,

Friends of Valley-Wide Foundation, Hemet Hospice Volunteers, LIFEWO KS Adult Life Skills ATP, My ity outh enter, amona Humane Society, Semper Fi Sports, T.H.E. enter, Valley ommunity Pantry and Veterans Paying It Forward. Each year, nonprofits are asked to submit an application that outlines how they intend to spend a 10,000 grant if they are chosen as a recipient. The variety of requests were as diverse as the organizations and their missions.

ohn Lucero r. founded Semper Fi Sports in 2016 to help fellow veterans find a meaningful purpose by mentoring and coaching student athletes. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps for 22 years, retiring in 200 . oaching youth sports gave him a purpose he needed, and he realized it could do the same for other veterans. More than 60 student athletes that were members of the travel sports teams sponsored through Semper Fi Sports have received sports scholarships to some of the

country’s most prestigious universities such as West Point Military Academy, Harvard University, olumbia University and University of alifornia Berkeley. “However, it’s the recognition to our veterans that I feel has made the biggest impact from a simple handshake and thank you for their service to providing comfort items and meals to them,” Lucero said. “We have a saying in our organization, We play for those who gave their all for us,’ and that applies the other way around as well because we as veterans gave our all so you could play and live a life full of opportunities.” are-A-Van Transit has been offering vital, specialized transportation services to those in need since 1 . It was founded for the specific purpose of addressing the unmet needs of seniors, veterans and disabled and low-income individuals who reside in the San acinto Valley. “We provide much needed transportation for doctors’ appointments, grocery shopping and most recently we have begun taking our seniors to be vaccinated against OVID-1 ,” program coordinator Paula Adey said. “Transportation is the most overlooked asset out there. Not everyone has the luxury of having a car or even a driver’s license. Some people can’t afford taxis, Uber or even the bus. And some people are unable to get into cars or walk to bus stops. That’s where are-A-Van steps in. We thank the Soboba Foundation for giving us this amazing support to help us with our mission of Transportation with a Heart.’ We couldn’t do it without them.” onnie Imel has been assisting fellow veterans for the past 25 years. In 201 , he and his wife Sally founded a nonprofit to continue

his advocacy work and named it Veterans Paying It Forward. onnie Imel served in the Vietnam War and was inducted into the anger Hall of Fame in 2017. He knew firsthand that veterans often return home with injuries sustained in service to their country but don’t know how to navigate the maze of paperwork required to file claims with Veterans Affairs. “VPIF is an advocacy group that specializes in helping veterans file claims relating to serviceconnected disabilities. We have been able to get claims through successfully that had previously been denied by the VA. We’ve been able to successfully move a claim through to completion that has been stalled in the process for years,” Sally Imel said. “We provide access for veterans to other veterans’ resources and agencies such as VA medical care, state veterans agencies and mental health care. We are also connected with nonprofit food banks and we help distribute food to needy veterans and their families.” Sally Imel said the grant received from the Soboba Foundation’s charity golf tournament will go toward the construction of a new veterans’ outreach facility that will help serve the community in many ways. “This project will make our offices accessible to veterans with disabilities as our offices will be on the ground floor, with wheelchair and handicap access,” Sally Imel said. “We also host veterans’ meetings and dinners. With the increase in the number of veterans that we are serving, we need to increase accessibility and size. Our project will help us expand our ability to serve the veterans and to train more people that will assist us in implementing our mission.”

TEME ULA The ancho alifornia Water District received a nearly . million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency which will fund up to 7 of Phase 1 of the Vail Dam Hazard Mitigation Project. Phase 1 has already begun and includes pre-construction activities such as design, environmental compliance and permitting to upgrade the dam at Vail Lake, located east of Temecula. Vail Lake, a reservoir with water storage capacity of approximately ,000 acre-feet or 1 .7 billion gallons of water, was acquired by ancho Water in 1 7 and is an component of ancho’s diversified water supply portfolio for providing water supplies to over 150,000 urban and agricultural water users in the cities of Temecula and Murrieta, and the surrounding areas. Vail Dam, originally built in 1 , is a 1 2-foot-high concrete arch dam which provides a portion of the district’s annual water supply, drought storage capacity for recharge to the downstream groundwater basin, and an emergency water supply to ancho Water’s service area. The dam also captures local rainfall before it flows to the ocean providing a local source of water. The water stored in the dam is used to recharge the groundwater aquifer where it can be used during future dry periods, providing a drought-resilient supply for the community. In addition, Vail Dam provides downstream flood control protection for the city of Temecula and the U.S. Marine orps Base amp Pendleton. A recent study by the alifornia Department of Water esources Division of Safety of Dams showed Vail Dam needed to be rehabilitated to meet updated seismic and hydrologic safety standards. The grant from FEMA for , , will fund Phase 1 of the rehabilitation project with a comprehensive geotechnical investigation, preliminary design report and design drawings for a new roller-compacted concrete dam directly downstream of the current dam. The project will be completed in two phases over the next four years and will result in a state-of-the-art dam with a renewed

lifespan of 7 -100 years. “We are excited and grateful to FEMA for selecting ancho Water’s grant application for funding. The funding will support the critical rehabilitation of Vail Dam and secure the local water supply that our neighbors rely heavily on for affordable, safe drinking water,” arol Lee onzales-Brady, board president of ancho Water, said. “By maintaining the dam, we preserve the water storage reservoir at Vail Lake which decreases our need for imported water, increases drought resiliency and reduces the cost that our customers pay for the highquality water services that ancho Water is able to offer.” ancho Water uses water stored in Vail Lake as part of its recharge for the groundwater basin that provides approximately 2 - 0 of the district’s water supply. roundwater provides high-quality water to ancho Water customers at less than 20 of the cost of imported water that is brought in from the olorado iver and Northern alifornia to supplement the remaining water needs for the area. Pending the completion of Phase 1, an additional grant from FEMA of approximately million is anticipated for construction of the dam. ompletion of Phase 1 is expected by late 2022. Phase 2 of the Vail Dam Hazard Mitigation Project is expected to begin in late 2022 and completion of construction is anticipated in mid-202 . For more information about Vail Lake and Vail Dam, visit the ancho Water website at http www. anchoWater.com VailLake. The mission of ancho Water is to deliver reliable, high-quality water, wastewater and reclamation services to its customers and communities in a prudent and sustainable manner. ancho Water is a local, independent special district, organized Aug. 1 , 1 , servicing approximately 1 0 square miles and about ,000 service connections in Temecula, Murrieta and parts of unincorporated areas of iverside ounty.

Avoid bringing job stress home to the family TEME ULA The lines between work and home life can easily become blurred. Such lines became even more blurry during the pandemic, when many children did not attend school in person while their parents worked from home exclusively. Such situations made it hard for everyone to differentiate between working hours and family time. Before the pandemic, many professionals had already begun to check emails while on vacation, while others fielded questions from the office on sick days. Stress comes with the territory for many working professionals, and that stress has the potential to trickle down into family life. According to the Australian Psychological Society’s “Stress and Well-being eport,” 1 of people cited work as a leading cause of stress. In addition, 2 of all serious work-related mental health condition claims were attributed to mental stress. The Anxiety Disorders Association of America indicated 0 of people experience persistent stress or excessive anxiety in their daily lives, much of which is attributed to work.

The following are a handful of strategies parents can embrace as they try to keep workrelated stress from affecting their home life. reate a buffer zone. Heading straight home with stressful problems still on your mind may result in taking those problems out on the family. If you repeatedly leave work feeling stress or anxiety, build in an

opportunity to unwind between work and home. onsider heading to the gym for an hour or taking a walk in a park to calm down. Make sure children and your spouse realize this decompression time is about ensuring stress does not come home with you at the end of the day. reate a routine for disconnecting. If you go home directly after work, create a system to calm down and unwind there. Sena Moran, a Florida-based mental health counselor, suggests mindful breathing, listening to relaxing music or some other activity that creates a system for disconnecting from work. Turn off notifications. When you’re home, focus on home and avoid work. That may require turning off work email notifications on your phone or putting a company laptop away and out of sight. Build more exercise into your day. A study by researchers at the University of Florida found participants who took at least 10, 00 steps each day were less likely to take out stress on family members compared to participants who took 7,000 steps. Exercise can help reduce stress and releases feel-good endorphins. Exercise paired with adequate sleep can improve self-regulation skills. Try a new job. While not an answer for everyone, moving on to a new career or even a different position can tame work-related stress and help improve relationships at home. Some people find scaling back hours may help them find balance as well. Stress at work doesn’t have to come home at the end of each day. Various strategies can ensure stress stays at the office.

Rose Care FUNdamentals for April Frank Brines ARS MASTER CONSULTING ROSARIAN

Many gardeners are having or are about to have their first flush of blooms. limate change is influencing the weather and effecting the accustomed pruning schedule. The erratic temperatures also have a bearing on the growth of the plants. oses didn’t stop growing this past winter. I was one of those gardeners who pruned later than I had hoped. Even so, I have buds opening on the bushes that were pruned on schedule. Now the conditions for fungi are present, and rust and/or mildew which will need control with fungicides and even stripping infected leaves if the infestation is heavy. I have had reports of rust and thrip activity in some areas, so inspect for these daily. The prediction for higher than normal temperature for the next two weeks may help with fungi problems. Other things to watch for are rose mosaic virus, black spot and Anthracnose. If you want the fullest blooms possible, supply plenty of water to your plants, but don’t flood them. For larger blooms, apply greater amount of water when buds begin to swell and show color. But pay attention to the drainage of your soil roses like plenty of water but they don’t respond well to soggy soil. The optimum time to irrigate is early in the day. oses love food. Preferably good quality food on a regular basis. Not all fertilizers include all the micro macro nutrients needed, so read the label on the packaging. Alternating the major fertilizer with fish emulsion every two weeks will help provide some of the micro nutrients. As I always say, organics are much better for the soil and ultimately for the garden and the environment. Sprinkling 1 cup of Epsom salt Magnesium of Sulfate around

large size plants, 1 2 cup for smaller plants, once in spring and once in fall can assist in getting new basal breaks new canes from the bud union. The soil needs a supply of organic material such as humus incorporated into the depths. That amendment isn’t easily accomplished in established gardens, however adding a - inches of a good composted mulch over the entire garden, leaving a 12-inch diameter circle open around base of each bush will go a long way to enriching the soil overall because over time earthworms help transport that mulch down into the soil where the microbiology is complex and multi-tiered. A healthy garden soil system is teeming with beneficial microbes that inhibit, compete with and consume disease-causing organisms. It creates a sustainable soil “immune system.” In fact, plants grown with organic fertilizers are themselves more resistant to pests and diseases. In addition, when you feed those beneficial organisms, they feed your roses. That’s because they are busy breaking down organic matter and releasing mineral nutrients slowly and reliably. I’ve recently learned that extra phosphate in the fertilizer that you use is most important in assisting in creating a soil environment that aids immensely in helping plants to be resistant to pest and diseases. Also helping plants to develop hardier root systems and larger blooms. Many gardeners become discouraged when they first experiment with organic treatments while still using chemical fertilizers. It is difficult in fact, almost impossible to have it both ways. hemical fertilizers negatively impact the soil food web by poisoning entire portions of it. The fact is, chemical fertilizers are salts. What gardener hasn’t seen what table salt does to a slug or snail?

Salts absorb water and dehydrates the soil microbes which are the foundation of the soil nutrient system. Once you’ve used chemical fertilizers regularly, you must keep adding more because the soil microbiology is weakened and unable to do its job of releasing naturally available nutrients to your plants. ains help to leach accumulated soil salts from the soil, provided there is sufficient drainage. Organic fertilizers and amendments, such as manure, compost or mulch, break down slowly, generally staying where you put them, and don’t contribute to ground water pollution as long as you prevent run off into drains. In addition, they improve the soil food web, so in the long run you end up using less product. hemical fertilizers are artificial growth stimulants and, in the long run, harm your soil and pollute local waterways because as dis-

solved salts they quickly leach through the soil becoming unavailable to your plants and enter the ground water. How about swearing off chemical fertilizers for the rest of the year and starting to use organics ive it a year. See if your roses don’t reward you. Fish emulsion is also a good amendment to apply either to foliage or onto the soil around each bush. ou may have had some blooms already. Keep spent blooms cut away. ut the cane back to an outward facing bud at a three to five leaflet leaf for new growth. Air circulation is important to help prevent fungi diseases. The small spurs growing inside the bush can easily be finger pruned to keep the center of the bush free of extraneous growth. iving the bush an early morning shower to rinse off the leaves may help to avoid powdery mildew. Do it early enough that the leaves will dry before hot sun. It is

possible that with nighttime dew a disease called Botrytis can appear as discolored spots on the blooms, especially on blooms with 0 or more petals. emove these as soon as disease is noticed. Even with great observations and preventive methods, fungi may become a problem and chemical treatment may be needed to keep disease at bay. Make sure to deep water. An extended slow watering is more beneficial than a frequently short application. With the relaxing of social distancing and masking, rose societies are beginning to hope for regular meetings and maybe even rose shows. San Diego ose Society is planning a une district rose show. Much depends on availability of venues. There may be other rose happenings still unannounced, watch for any opportunities in the next month or two to attend local rose shows and see, learn, smell different varieties.

5 tips for spring cleaning your finances TEME ULA Spring is officially here, and with the new season comes a fresh start and spring cleaning. And according to a recent survey conducted by Top ashback. com, of Americans said their finances need some spring cleaning, too. The survey polled a cross section of adults, aged 1 and over. When asked, “Will you be spring cleaning this year ” of those surveyed, responded yes, and 11 said no. Seventy-two percent said they have done more cleaning this past year than in previous years as opposed to 2 who said they haven’t. Even with the increase in cleaning, there were still some chores Americans would like to part ways with. When asked “If you could give up one chore for the rest of your life, which one would you

choose ” the top five responses showed 2 chose “scrubbing the toilet;” 2 selected “doing laundry;” 1 picked “other;” 1 chose “cleaning the oven” and 11 answered “cutting the grass.” The survey asked participants if they spring clean their finances. Half, 0 , answered yes, and half, 0 , said no. When asked “Aside from your home, which other areas of your life could use some spring cleaning ” the top five responses were finances, ; social media platforms, 7 ; career, 2 ; love life, 2 , and friendships, 2 . Whether you spring clean your finances annually or are starting this year, here are five simple tips to get started from ebecca ramuglia, consumer expert at Top ashback.com. Set and reexam ine your budget. Have your financial priorities changed in the past year Take a

seat, reexamine your budget and adjust accordingly by using the 0 20 0 rule. Typically with this rule, you’ll want to spend up to 0 of your after-tax income on essentials, such as mortgage and taxes; 20 on financial priorities, such as debt repayments and savings, and 0 on wants or lifestyle choices, such as shopping and any other personal expenses. And don’t be afraid to tailor the rule to your lifestyle. For example, if you’re more focused on debt repayments, you can always put 0 toward that category and 20 toward lifestyle choices. Opt to automate. Avoid going over your budget by having a part of your paycheck automatically deducted into a savings account or setting up a regular transfer of funds. ou’ll be less likely to spend the money if it’s in a separate account. U se your rewards. Spring cleaning doesn’t only

Lawn watering and fertilizing techniques TEME ULA A lush, green lawn is a sight to behold. Many variables are involved in growing and maintaining grass, and water and fertilizer are among the most important components. Knowing how much water and fertilizer to apply and when to apply it can make a big difference in the appearance and health of a lawn. That’s because a well-fed and watered lawn will develop a better root system, which makes the lawn less vulnerable to stressors like drought, mowing, foot traffic and heat, according to the Scotts company. Fertilize There is no magic formula governing when to fertilize a lawn. The type of grass and how well-established a lawn is must be considered. Experts suggested having the soil tested to determine its pH levels and if any nutrients are lacking. A fertilizing schedule can be developed after testing. Keep in mind that overfeeding a lawn will not make it grow any better and actually can damage the turf. Several small applications of fertilizer during the lawn’s most active growing period may be helpful, according the home improvement resource Tools Around the House. An an-

nual application in late spring for warm-season grass or in fall for cool-season grass may be all that’s needed. Certain fertilizers need to be applied and watered in. Others may be combined with weedcontrol products and must be set on top of damp grass. ead packaging to determine the right application. W ater The right watering schedule and techniques can help a lawn thrive. Scotts said adjusting for climate and nature can help grass to grow strongly. A lawn that has a grayish cast or appears dull green is telling an owner that it needs water. Another test is to step on the lawn. If footprints disappear quickly, the grass blades have enough moisture to spring back. Water the lawn in the morning before 10 a.m. when it’s cooler and the winds tend to be calm so that the water can soak in. For those who must water at night, do so in early evening so that the water can dry before nightfall and will not contribute to disease. Scotts said to water an established lawn until the top inches of soil is wet. Most lawns need one to 1. inches of water per week from rain or a hose to

Alzheimer’s disease could have a dietary connection Debi Barnett Foli STRAIGHTNUTRITION.COM

In 201 , it was estimated that . million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease, a severe form of dementia, and hundreds of thousands more may suffer from an often misdiagnosed subtype called “hippocampal sparing” Alzheimer’s disease, according to recent findings. The most recent data suggests that well over half a million Americans die from Alzheimer’s disease each year, making it the third leading cause of death in the U.S., right behind heart disease and cancer. As discussed by Dr. Danielle Ofri in a recent New ork Times blog, losing your mind, and with it much of your personality and dignity, is a terrifying proposition. Making matters worse, many doctors shy away from addressing dementia both with colleagues and their patients. Ofri said that all of the top 10 killers in American are potentially and largely preventable or at the very least modifiable all except dementia. We have tests to screen for many cancers and treatments that prolong life. But there’s nothing, really, that we can do about dementia. There aren’t any screening tests that can pick up the disease before symptoms

appear. Even if there were, there aren’t any treatments that make a substantial difference. For doctors, this is profoundly frustrating. No wonder dementia gets pushed onto the back burner. In the dishearteningly limited time of a medical visit, we’re forced to focus on the diseases we can treat. According to several natural health care experts there is much that can be done in the form of prevention. Unless the conventional paradigm shifts to realizing that through a healthier lifestyle the situation can go from hopeless and grim to positively optimistic, then the battle really will be a hard one to win. Healthy lifestyle strategies are important In an ideal world, doctors would begin to advise their patients early on, that lifestyle strategies promoting heart and brain health throughout a lifetime are of the utmost importance. Trends in the current literature point to lifestyle factors, especially diet as one of the major driving forces behind dementia’s development. Similar articles have been written highlighting the connection between Alzheimer’s disease and other dietary-related diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease. The researchers seem to point at the fact that if diabetes and heart

disease can be prevented through a proper diet, then so too can Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. According to the literature, Alzheimer’s disease was tentatively given the moniker, “type diabetes” in 200 , when researchers discovered that the human brain produces insulin that is necessary for the survival of your brain cells. A toxic protein was found and named “ADDL.” This substance removes insulin receptors from nerve cells, renders these neurons insulin resistant and as ADDLs accumulate, your memory begins to fade. ecent research also points out that heart disease increases your odds of developing Alzheimer’s disease. According to MedicineNet. com, “ esearchers found that artery stiffness a condition called atherosclerosis is associated with the buildup of beta-amyloid plaque in the brain, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.” Lead researcher Timothy Hughes said, “This is more than just another example of how heart health relates to brain health. It is a signal that the process of vascular aging may predispose the brain to increased amyloid plaque buildup. So, what if anything, can be done According to Dr. David Perlmutter, author of the New ork Time’s bestseller “ rain Brain” and one of the leading integrative medical neurologist in the U.S, Alzheimer’s disease is preventable through proper diet. “Alzheimer’s is a preventable disease,” he said. “It surprises me at my core that no one’s talking about the fact that so many of these devastating neurological problems, are, in fact, modifiable based upon lifestyle choices. What we’ve crystallized it down to now, in essence, is that diets that are high in sugar and carbohydrates and similarly diets that are low in fat, are devastating to the brain. When you have a diet that has carbohydrates in it, you are paving the way for Alzheimer’s disease. I want to be super clear about that. Dietary carbohydrates lead to Alzheimer’s disease. It’s a pretty profound statement, but it’s empowering nonetheless when we realize that we control our diet. We control our choices, whether to favor fat or carbohydrates.”

LOCATIONS

Perlmutter said that Mayo linic research reveals diets rich in carbs are associated with an increased risk for dementia while high-fat diets are associated with reduced risk. This combination of very little sugar and carbs, along with higher amounts of healthful fats is a key for addressing not only Alzheimer’s disease but diabetes and health disease too. The role of saturated fats for healthy brain function The diet our ancestors used was high in saturated fats and almost void of non-vegetable carbohydrates. Today, not only are we eating a large amount of carbs, but our carbs tend to be of the refined and highly processed type. If you’ve been alive over the last 60 years, it’s also likely that you’ve heard the conventional medical wisdom that warned about saturated fats causing heart disease and therefore the need to severely limit those in the diet. This key factoid along with the dramatic onslaught of pharmaceutical use targeting cholesterol reduction have played a role in the sharp rise in dementia and other neurological diseases disorders. Without fats, the brain cannot function optimally. To fully understand how to proceed, a discussion of fats is necessary. Avoid transfats or hydrogenated fats found in margarine, vegetable oils and various butter-like spreads. Instead use plenty of the good and health fats in your diet like avocados, butter from raw, grassfed organic milk, organic pastured egg yolks, coconut and its oil, unheated organic nut oils, raw nuts pecans macadamias and also grass-fed meats or pasture raised poultry. In addition to the fat discussion there are some additional dietary approaches to be considered. How else can we prevent this disease? The avoidance of sugar and refined fructose, avoidance of gluten and casein, optimize your gut flora and increase consumption of all healthy fats, including animal-based omega- oils, reduce overall calorie consumption, improve magnesium levels and eat a nutritious diet that is rich in folate can be a start. ertainly, a closer examina-

tion of lifestyle habits both good and bad can also confer benefits, such as regular exercise, optimal vitamin D levels, avoidance and elimination of mercury, avoidance of the flu vaccine and avoidance of anticholinergic and statin drugs. The statin drug class can be particularly problematic because they suppress the synthesis of cholesterol, deplete the brain of o 10 and prevent adequate delivery of essential fatty acids and fat-soluble antioxidants to your brain by inhibiting the production of the indispensable carrier molecule known as low-density lipoprotein or LDL. But wait, I thought the LDL was the bad cholesterol? Yes, it is given that label, but we are rarely told about all the good benefits it also provides for our body and brain. In conclusion, it seems like a well-designed personal approach to health may be in the best interest of our population to combat this public health care crisis. If you or someone you know needs help, make sure to call your local nutritional health care expert. etting things corrected from a dietary approach can be far more beneficial with early intervention.

Applications open for ESET’s Women in Cybersecurity scholarship SAN DIE O ESET, a global leader in IT security, announced Tuesday, March 0, that applications are open for the sixth annual ESET Women in ybersecurity scholarship. ESET will award ,000 each to three women currently enrolled as graduate undergraduate students and who major in a science, technology, engineering and mathematics field. The application period will close Wednesday, May , at 11 p.m. A recent IS 2 ybersecurity Workforce Study found that the actual percentage of women in the cybersecurity workplace has remained close to constant over the last three years, with women making up approximately 2 of the security workforce. To address

this issue, a majority of survey respondents said that they believe the best way to increase women’s representation in the field was to encourage women to pursue STEM degrees in college. “We continue to see an increase in the number of young women passionate about pursuing a career in cybersecurity,” eleste Blodgett, vice president of human resources at ESET, said. “Women bring different perspectives and approaches, which are critical to the future of technology and our workforce. We are dedicated to empowering and supporting women so that we can empower the next generation of female cybersecurity experts. The ESET Women in ybersecurity schol-

arship aims to continue creating a more diverse cybersecurity workforce by encouraging and empowering women a still underrepresented segment in this industry.” Req uirements, details and how to apply Applicants must be enrolled in or accepted to an accredited college or university within the United States.

Movie Review: ‘Nobody’ Bob Garver SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

NOTE This review is coming from a person who loves a good violent action movie. If the genre isn’t for you, this movie isn’t for you. “Nobody” wears its resemblance to the “ ohn Wick” movies on its sleeve. David Leitch, director of the first “Wick” film, is a producer for this movie, and the advertising hasn’t been shy about playing up that connection. Like the “Wick” series, this movie takes place in a world of sophisticated gangsters and assassins. I’d say it could be a shared universe, but the characters in this movie use gold bars and paper money, which can be burned dramatically, for currency instead of those cute doubloons, so not the same. Bob Odenkirk stars as Hutch Mansell, a seemingly lame suburban father who is stuck in a rut. He’s unhappy in his job working for his father-in-law, played by Michael Ironside; his wife Becca, played by onnie Nielsen, isn’t

affectionate and everybody thinks he’s a wimp, including his own son Blake, played by age Munroe. When a pair of burglars break into his house and assault Blake, nobody is surprised that Hutch takes a path of inaction and lets them get away. The official word from the police is that he did the right thing, but even some of the officers think he should have taken more steps to protect his family, to say nothing of his neighbors, co-workers and Blake. Hutch lets people know that he’s a former “auditor,” which people assume means a boring accounting job, but actually means highly trained assassin. He hasn’t tapped into that particular set of skills did you think I was going review a movie about an assassin in his late 0s and not make that reference for a while, but against the advice of his brother Harry, played by A, he’s compelled to do so in the name of catching the burglars. The results of the investigation prove disappointing, and he’s left wanting to take his anger out on somebody. Fortunately, some

ussian mobsters happen upon the bus he’s riding and start harassing a young woman. The good news is that he’s able to put them in the hospital guilt-free, satisfying his bloodlust. The bad news is that one of them is the brother of the powerful, dangerous Yulian, played by Aleksei Serebryakov, who vows revenge on Hutch. From there, the movie is pretty standard action movie fare. ulian’s men pay a visit to Hutch’s house, and Hutch unleashes the full power of his background. The henchman try to get to Hutch through his elderly father, played by Christopher Lloyd, but that doesn’t go well for them either. Hutch sends a message to ulian through his stronghold of money, which destroys his reputation and career. The two are set for an epic confrontation where ulian brings an army to a metalwork factory, which Hutch has tricked out “Home Alone”-style. The fight is about 0-1, and we know that things can only end badly for at least of the 0, and probably all of them unless someone really

wants to save cool villain ulian for a sequel. My on-the-spot reaction to “Nobody” was to call it “sporadically awesome.” I loved the extended fight scene on the bus, the attack on Hutch’s house, the attack on Hutch’s father, the final showdown and scenes where Hutch tries to intimidate people with varying degrees of success. But the rest of the movie is familiar “assassin gets dragged out of retirement” territory. At one point, Hutch goes to get help from a character called “The Barber,” played by olin Salmon. A character in an assassin movie named after an innocuous occupation never seen that before. Stuff like that makes the movie seem hacky and unoriginal. What does make the movie seem original is the performance from Odenkirk, the former sketch comedy player turned dramatic actor turned historical actor my mind was blown when he showed up in “Little Women” now turned action star. He’s shrewdly cast as the last guy you’d expect to be dangerous. In other words, he’s

Scoreboards were lit up big time during Week Three action of the shortened high school football season in the area. With two weeks remaining, the top local powerhouse teams continue to shine at the top of the standings. Nearly every game last week was a blowout, and the talk of the town is the Week Four match-up between Murrieta Valley and Vista Murrieta high schools, who are both undefeated. The Broncos have put up 121 points to this point, and only given up 40 points. The Nighthawks have put up 164 points but let up 84 points to their opponents. This game will decide who will be the best of the best in the Southwestern League. Game time will be 7 p.m. at Murrieta Valley. Here are reported results and highlights from Week Three of southwest Riverside County high school football games. These games took place inside the Valley News coverage area from April 1-3. To report results or changes, email information and highlights to sports@reedermedia.com by Sunday at 5 p.m. Include information about the event, including if it was a nonleague game/match, a league game/match or tournament game/match.

H.S. Baseball: Murrieta Mesa uncrowns King in tournament opener VALLEY NEWS SPORTS DEPARTMENT

On a day that saw the first IF Southern Section preseason baseball polls of the season come out, the Murrieta Mesa High School team did not bat an eye after not making it into the top 10 of the Division Four rankings. Instead, the Rams, took to the road to take on M.L. King High School, who are currently ranked No. 9 in the Division 1 polls. At game time, in the opener of the inaugural Inland Empire High School Baseball Carousel, both starting lineups reeked of next level talent. King has six verbally committed Division 1 athletes, which is enough to make any visiting team nervous, but not Murrieta Mesa. The Rams got on the board first when senior utility player, Jhayden Raineri (Salem University), launched a bases clearing double to the right center wall, scoring three runs for the Rams,

who racked up 15 hits throughout the game. Raineri would add his fourth RBI of the game in the third inning, scoring senior Caden Byers (Vanguard University) with a single to the gap. Byers got on base with a lead-off double. Another of Murrieta Mesa’s senior threats, utility player Colby Moran (Northwest Nazarene), who is also the Rams QB1 for Friday nights, pounded out four hits on the day, keeping the Wolves on their toes all over the field. The Rams roster boasts 17 seniors in all, which is reminiscent of their 2016 year, when they won the CIF Southern Section Division One title. Senior right-hander, Jack Kelley, started on the bump for Murrieta Mesa, picking up his second win of the season with his complete game punch out. Kelley allowed three hits and struck out 10 batters over the course of seven innings. King’s Matt Hudson took the loss,

surrendering six runs on nine hits over two innings, striking out one and walking none. Moran, Raineri and Byers were followed in suit by juniors Carter Garate (Cal State Fullerton) and Derek Hurtado with multiple hits against the Wolves pitching staff. Moran went a perfect four-for-four at the plate for the Rams. Murrieta Mesa turned back around to pick things up with a 11-8 win over Hillcrest, a 7-6 loss to Norco, a 16-0 win over Paloma Valley and a 4-2 win over Riverside Poly to wrap up the week. The Rams played 10 games over the course of a 12-day span, which was the ultimate spring break test for any team. * P hotos and sports scores/ stats/ highlights can be submitted to sports@reedermedia.com.

HARRIS from page A-1 a 3-pointer with 53 seconds to go, coach Mark Few cleared his bench and put the backups in, and Harris would go on to make a layup with 11 seconds to go. Now, only Baylor University (27-2) stands in the way of Harris claiming a National Championship title with his Bulldog teammates. The Z ags have beaten out not only the Pac-12 schools in their geographic footprint, but also far

bigger threats for the talent that has positioned them on the verge of college basketball’s first unbeaten season in 45 years. Harris is part of a new wave of recruits that saw increasingly talented high school prospects and transfers come in to help Gonzaga, a small private school in Eastern Washington State, bash bigger basketball powers on the way to becoming a national recruiting brand. Gonzaga is no longer that little school that had to scrape together a

roster of international finds, regional prospects and transfers. The Z ags have amassed talent for years, but a symbolic shift occurred in 2016 when forward Z ach Collins became the first McDonald’s All-American to sign with the Bulldogs out of high school. He stayed only one year before heading to the NBA. The Bulldog’s current roster features three likely NBA first-round draft picks in Suggs, sharpshooter Corey Kispert and big-man, Drew Timme, with more likely on the

way. The family culture and emphasis on development have been staples of Few’s run that started in 1 , but five consecutive 0-win seasons also tend to be significant draws. “Definitely over the last six or seven years, I’ve seen an uptick because it’s all these kids know,” Brian Michaelson, assistant coach at Gonzaga, told the media. “We’ve never missed an NCAA tournament in these kids’ lifetimes. We’re at a point now where these kids being

recruited, in their formative years, we’ve never done anything less than win 30 games and be in a Sweet 16 and we’ve been to two Final Fours.” Only two of Gonzaga’s top seven players, Kispert and reserve forward Anton Watson, hail from Pac12 states. Reserve guard, Dominick Harris, is the only player on the roster from California. J P R aineri can be reached by email at sports@reedermedia.com.

PETS

Prevent pet-related damage to the house

Pet-related damage can occur when pets are angry or happy when they may scratch, chew or claw at furniture, woodwork, floors, window Valley News/Courtesy photo treatments and more.

TEME ULA The benefits of having a pet are innumerable. Pets can be companions, protectors, service animals and help produce

products that can be sold, such as eggs from chickens. While there are many positive attributes to pets, one potential concern is the

impact they have on the home. Pet-related damage can occur when pets are angry or happy. Animals may scratch or claw at furniture and floors. Some animals may climb or chew. Woodwork and furniture can be damaged by pet paws and teeth, but that’s not where it ends. The following are some potential pet-damage problems and how to avoid them. M arking Many animals use scent markers to establish their territory and communicate with other animals. As a result, both male and female pets may spray urine in certain areas of the house. While it may not eliminate the problem immediately, making sure to neuter or spay cats and dogs can reduce the likelihood that they’ll mark indoors or attempt to seek out and mate with feral animals they smell canvassing the property. Accidents In addition to marking, pets that have not been properly trained or were trained and are experiencing a behavioral or medical issue

may begin soiling in improper areas, such as outside of the litter box or in the home. Obedience training can head off some issues, but if a medical condition is suspected, consult with a veterinarian promptly. Dirt, fur and more An investment in regular grooming can help keep certain damage at bay, according to Home Advisor. Regularly brushing and trimming coats, keeping nails clipped and bathing will keep a home fresh and minimize damage. Other pets may not be groomed but require cleaning of cages or other habitats. Bird droppings and feathers can get on surfaces. Cleaning daily or very frequently can help keep a home tidy. ro ide to s a d s rat hi posts Pets need an outlet to tame anxiety and energy. If they don’t have suitable outlets, pets may cause damage to a home. Cats will take to furniture to stretch their paws if they don’t have scratching posts or special mats. Dogs,

particularly puppies, can be orally fixated. When the urge to chew sets in, unless there are appropriate chew toys, furniture, moldings and other items around the house may become fair game. It is important to note that declawing a cat to prevent damage should not be a consideration. It is a surgery that can cause ongoing health problems. Nail caps can be used as a safe alternative. Escape artists In some cases, pets may chew or scratch their way through doors and window screens. Others may dig under fencing or climb, leaving damage in their wake. Boredom, anxiety or lack of training may be behind these behaviors, according to Pets Weekly. The urge to roam, however, also may be tied to pets not being fixed. Work with the vet or a trainer to help stop these issues. Pets can cause damage around the house, but certain strategies can help decrease the likelihood that pets cause damage around the house.

Learn the signs of vision problems in dogs TEMECULA – Like their human companions, dogs can experience health problems that seemingly come out of nowhere, but unlike the men and women who take care of them, dogs cannot call the doctor when something is bothering them. That responsibility rests on the shoulders of their owners. A dog’s eyes can be a window into the animal’s overall health. According to the pet care professionals at Memphis Veterinary Specialists & Emergency, serious conditions such as liver disease, diabetes and autoimmune diseases can all present indicators in a dog’s eyes. The American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation said that dogs can experience physical and/or behavioral problems when they’re experiencing eye trouble. A host of factors can contribute to vision problems in dogs. Age is one such factor, but diseases such

as diabetes and hereditary conditions, including progressive retinal atrophy, also can lead to visual impairment. Before dog owners can work with veterinarians to determine the cause of their furry friends’ vision loss, they must first learn to recognize signs of impairment. The AKC noted that some of these signs may be obvious while others are more subtle. i i to walls or r niture This sign is a clear indicator that a dog is experiencing vision problems. Dog owners who notice their pets are bumping into things even when there’s nothing to obstruct their dogs’ paths should book a vet appointment immediately. ro le lo ati ood or to s Most dogs love to eat and drink and play with their toys, so a sudden inability to find food or water bowls or a favorite toy could indicate the dog is having vision problems.

el ta e to o or o a couch This symptom can be less noticeable than bumping into furniture or having trouble finding food. Dogs that once loved to jump on or off a couch but now stick to the floor may be doing so due to impaired vision and the fear of not being able to see where they’re jumping. Cli i ess The AKC said that some dogs cling to their owners as they experience vision loss. Aggressiveness Dogs may begin to show aggression as they experience vision loss. That’s because the loss of their eyesight can make them feel vulnerable, leading some to act offensively as a defense mechanism. h si al i di ators eha iors Dog owners should be on the lookout for red, puffy or swollen eyes. In addition, Memphis Vet-

Before dog owners can work with veterinarians to determine the cause of their furry friends’ vision loss, they must first learn to recognize signs of impairment. Valley News/Courtesy photo

erinary Specialists & Emergency notes that some dogs may paw at their face in response to vision loss. Vision loss in dogs can be

caused by many things. The first step to helping dogs overcome diminished vision is recognizing its symptoms.

Why would a young, bright successful guy go on a suicide mission?

Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

Last Friday, Noah Green, age 25, went on a rampage ramming his car into two Capitol police officers who he never met. Then he jumped out of his car with a knife and attacked them. He killed officer William “Billy” Evans and was killed himself. He knew what his fate would be that day. Green seemed to be a nice guy. He was good looking, successful

in sports, educated with a degree in finance and part of a large family that cared about him and tried to care for him in the last few weeks as their concern grew for his mental health. Everyone is searching for answers. His family believes that being hit in the head during football repeatedly contributed to his mental health condition. He said he was given anax without him knowing it and it left him addicted to the drug. He was searching for a spiritual answer, and he told his brother that he was going to commit suicide. He reportedly had gone to South Africa to find himself, and while there, he jumped in front of a car and was hospitalized. In his spiritual journey, he was looking to Louis Farrakhan as esus hrist, and he identified as a Nation of Islam member, took steps to legally change his name and was obviously trying to get Louis Farrakhan’s attention with his Facebook posts. But why kill the police CNN reported that in Green’s social media he wrote that the U.S. government was the No. 1 enemy of Black people. Where have we heard this rhetoric before I’m sure he was subjected to the untrue rhetoric that police are out to kill Black people more than any other race. He was a 2019 university grad. He himself said he was able to work hard and achieve all the goals he set for himself, so obviously no one was holding him back. I get that he was having mental health issues, but this is just another rea-

son why we shouldn’t be teaching critical race theory and telling our bright Black students that they are victims, they are oppressed, their country is evil and needs to be torn down and rebuilt from nothing, every White person is racist and hates them and our government is their No. 1 enemy and all the police are out to kill them. How can that not breed nihilism No doubt Green’s parents taught him that he could achieve anything he wanted to and he accomplished much, but at some point he lost hope.

That is a dangerous place to be. Just like the White students who are being taught that they are all racist, privileged and oppressors, even if they are dirt poor and community servants. Companies are doing training to help their employees be “less White.” We used to teach our children individualism, that they could achieve anything they worked hard for, no matter what their race, religion, family background, sex, etc. They were taught that they lived in a great country with a

less than perfect past which was continually improving. When you teach students they are either victims or oppressors, their country is evil, there is no God, the police are indiscriminately trying to kill them and their future is bleak, what do we expect them to do with that information except to become nihilistic And when there is no hope, there is no future.

Letter to the publisher

Armenians like to use their names

Dear Julie Reeder, First of all, congratulations on your well-deserved recognition as “Woman of the Year.” You asked your readers to comment upon the above referenced editorial addressing free speech. Freedom of speech is one of our freedoms guaranteed in this nation’s constitution, as you pointed out. I’m glad the 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in favor of professor Nicholas Meriwether. I’m also aware that our precious Constitution itself is being ignored by some of our elected leaders. May they remember their oath of office to protect and defend our constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I’m in agreement with you and with the gist of your article. I want to be polite and respectful of others just as you indicate you do, but I balk about being compelled to say something which I don’t believe. The Spirit of truth leads believers in our Lord into all truth. He, our redeemer, is the way, the truth and the life. I can’t be comfortable living a lie or going against what I know to be true. Our creator gave his human creations the power of choice. Those who are uncomfortable with

their God-given gender have the freedom of choice to use medical technology to attempt to change it as best they can. If that is really what a person wants to do, I can’t blame them for making their choice; however, trying to force me to say something I know to be untrue is wrong. Your letter about Rome burning while this nation’s leaders pursue trivia resonated with me, as do most of your editorials. I mourn the loss of the nation I loved and willingly served as an Air Force officer and pilot. I feel cheated by those who finally succeeded in ousting a president by fraud who rightfully should still be our president. Some time ago you mentioned your intent to interview a couple of experts who appeared on Michael Lindell’s documentary “Absolute Proof.” I’m interested in what has transpired and whether or not you are still interested in that pursuit. Please let us know. Thank you for your efforts. They are appreciated. Congratulations again on your award. Jim Bowles

Whatever else one might think of the Kardashian sisters they’ve opted to keep their Armenian last name rather than decide that use of an Armenian surname would be offensive to their ancestors. I don’t follow the Kardashian sisters. I pay more attention to Kim Kazarian, whose husband is the Perris Auto Speedway promoter, than to Kim Kardashian. I will acknowledge that Don and Kim Kazarian have been responsible for more damage than Kim Kardashian and her significant other, and with regard to countering the Kardashians’ declining popularity, I’ve seen Demo Cross races at Perris Auto Speedway where the car count has dwindled from more than 20 at the start of the main event to six or seven when the checkered flag was thrown 20 laps later. I’m more interested in the Kazarian brothers who founded Perris Auto Speedway than the Kardashian sisters, but I admire that the Kardashian sisters didn’t give up their name noting their Armenian descent. Mark Mancini now lives in suburban Los Angeles and produces sports talk shows on internet radio. In 1996, he was Mark Marsoubian and had a sports talk show on the Palomar ollege radio station. Exchanging an Armenian birth surname for a different on-air name goes at least as far back as Ross Bagdasarian, who took the on-air name of “Dave Seville.” Motor sports promoters with Ar-

The University of Notre Dame objected to the script itself. Irish Americans have no complaints about Notre Dame’s football team being called “The Fighting Irish,” but in the movie John Goldfarb’s Arabian team defeats Notre Dame’s football team. The University of Notre Dame felt that a Notre Dame football loss constituted a defamation of character – even if when the book was published and when the movie script was written Notre Dame alumni were lamenting that the Fighting Irish could likely lose to a team of Middle Eastern players with limited football experience. The objections of the university delayed the release of the movie until 1965, but it did not restore Goldfarb’s original alias of Agajanian. An Armenian-American, however, who took over as Notre Dame’s football coach in 1964 restored the team’s prestige that year. It is likely that some of Armenian descent think that the Kardashian sisters are demeaning to Armenian Americans. None of those critics are taking issue with the Kardashians’ use of their own last name. The Armenian American community feels the opposite, that the removal of an Armenian surname is demeaning. The Kardashian sisters have not only reversed past practice of abandoning an Armenian last name for on-air purposes but are also going against the Hollywood trend of minority names being considered offensive.

menian last names retain those professionally. The Kazarian brothers weren’t the first Armenian Americans to spearhead motor sports events. J.C. Agajanian was a longtime racing promoter and racecar owner. J.C. Agajanian’s brother Ben became involved in a different sport. He was a professional football placekicker. Before football had offensive and defensive specialists, one of the regular players would also handle punting and/or placekicking, and Ben Agajanian was one of professional football’s first kicking specialists. He was also the last active professional football player who played in the All-America Football Conference, and he played in the AAFC, the National Football League and the American Football League. He began his professional career in 1945 and played his last game in 1964. Some sports figures are also involved in entertainment firsthand. In 1964, Ben Agajanian was a key figure in a situation which combined sports and entertainment. The main character of a movie called “John Goldfarb, Please Come Home” utilized an alias, and in the 1963 book version, the last name he took was Agajanian. Hollywood changed the last name of the pilot-turned-football-coach not because Agajanian might be offensive to Armenian Americans but because Hollywood desired an Anglo last name. The Armenian-American community considered it a snub.

Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Employment Development Department has been mired in crisis for more than a year now. The massive backlog in unemployment claim processing hasn’t really budged, millions of daily calls go unanswered, fraud is rampant – estimated at $11 to $31 billion, and appeals can take over three months; the failure list is long.

There’s plenty of blame to go around too. Former Gov. Jerry Brown ignored a 2011 audit that pointed out EDD’s shortcomings, and new directives from the governor have proven to be inadequate and ineffective. So, what can be done to fix this mess I recently met with newly appointed EDD director, Rita Saenz, to discuss these issues. Naturally, she is attempting to make needed changes, something that’s always difficult during an ongoing crisis. She needs help, and for our part, the Legislature is stepping up. I have introduced Assembly Bill 24, which will ensure that EDD claimants receive decisions about their applications within 30 days. I’ve also joined state Sen. John Laird, DSanta Cruz, to co-write Senate Bill 390, which requires EDD to prepare and implement comprehensive plans for increased benefit claims during recessions. Other legislation will establish better oversight and accountability at EDD, along with stringent anti-fraud measures, including requiring EDD to stop post-

ing full Social Security numbers in mailings to claimants. And benefits would be made available by direct deposit, instead of through insecure debit cards. Thousands of businesses have shut down, many permanently, and millions of workers are unemployed due to state-mandated closures. The inability of EDD to meet its responsibilities and provide timely unemployment benefits is unconscionable. Legislative fixes work, but even bipartisan bills take months to pass and more months to be implemented. EDD needs to be fixed now, but only the governor can take immediate action regarding agencies under his direct authority.

State loosens COVID-19 rules allowing indoor events, performances City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

In a major advancement in the state’s COVID-19 economic recovery, alifornia health officials announced changes that will allow a resumption of indoor activities such as concerts, conferences and theater performances – and a return of fans to indoor sporting events. The rules issued Friday, April 2, however, included strict capacity mandates based on counties’ tier placement within the state’s economic-reopening blueprint, along with requirements for attendees to show proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 tests. The new rules will take effect April 15 – subject to the approval of local health authorities, who are permitted in each county to impose stricter regulations than the state allows. For private events such as recep-

tions or conferences, counties in the most restrictive purple tier of the Blueprint for a Safer Economy can permit outdoor gatherings up to 25 people, or up to 100 people if all attendees show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test. In the red tier, the outdoor gatherings can be 50 people or up to 200 with vaccination/testing proof, while indoor gatherings of up to 100 people are permitted with vaccination/testing proof. In the orange tier, outdoor gatherings can be 100 people or up to 300 with vaccination/testing, while indoor activities are permitted for 150 people with vaccination/testing. In the yellow tier, outdoor gatherings are allowed up to 200 people, or 400 with vaccination/ testing, and indoor events allowed up to 200 people, with vaccination/ testing of all attendees. For indoor live events and performances, which state offi-

cials said includes sports arenas, theaters and other event venues, such events are banned in counties in the restrictive purple tier, but permitted in other tiers, with varying capacities, advance ticket purchases, physical distancing, designated eating/drinking areas and in-state guests only. For venues with a capacity of up to 1,500 people, in the red tier, capacity is limited to 10% or 100 people, and capacity increases to 25% if all guests are tested or show proof of full vaccination. In the orange tier, capacity is limited to 15% or 200 people, increasing to 35% if all guests are tested or vaccinated, and in the yellow tier, capacity is limited to 25% or 300 people, increasing to 50% with testing/vaccination of all guests. For venues with capacity of 1,501 or higher, in the red tier, capacity is limited to 20% with testing or vaccination proof required

for all guests. In the orange tier, capacity is limited to 10% or 2,000 people, increasing to 35% if all guests are tested or show proof of full vaccination, and in the yellow tier, capacity is limited to 10% or 2,000 people, increasing to 50% if all guests are tested or vaccinated. The state guidance also includes provisions that would allow venues to have designated sections of spectators who have all been vaccinated and who could be seated without need for physical distancing. Dr. Muntu Davis, Los Angeles ounty’s health officer, said the county will need to review the full details of the state’s guidelines. He said the county in general tries to align with the state’s guidance, but officials will review the specifics and “try to figure out what makes the most sense for us” locally to determine if any adjustments need to be made.

“We still have to see all the details,” Davis said. The Los Angeles Lakers issued a statement late Friday, saying the team is “incredibly excited that the state of California announced guidelines today that will allow Lakers fans to return to Staples Center.” “Now that we have the guidance, we will work with L.A. County Public Health and Staples Center to finalize our plans to have fans safely attend our games starting with the Lakers vs. Celtics game on April 15,” according to the team. The Clippers posted a short message on the team’s Twitter page saying, “Can’t wait to see you, #ClipperNation.” The message included a photo saying limited tickets will be available for home games starting April 18.

Supervisors to announce new round of rental assistance soon Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Riverside County, Life to Rise and Inland SoCal United Way announced applications for the next round of United Lift Rental Assistance will soon be coming available to qualified renters. The applications opened March 8. The Riverside County Board of Supervisors voted in February to approve $57,267,219 in emergency rental assistance program funding from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Combined with previous funding rounds from the CARES Act, Community Development Block Grant funds and other

sources, United Lift totals more than $90 million in rental assistance. The program is one of the largest per capita allocations of direct rental assistance in the country and one of a handful to operate on a countywide basis. With nearly 2.5 million residents, Riverside County is the 10thlargest county in the United States. “United Lift has already helped thousands of renters and landlords in Riverside County who have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic,” Karen Spiegel, board chair and 2nd District supervisor, said. “Riverside County is eager to see this next round of assistance administered in a quick and efficient manner to as many residents as pos-

sible and is grateful to our nonprofit for their work getting these funds to folks who need it the most.” Applications for the next round of United Lift rental assistance are available to Riverside County residents. The program will continue until funds are depleted, or until Dec. 31, 2021, whichever happens first. This year, the program will provide one-time rental assistance support to cover up to 12 months of unpaid rent during the period between March 13, 2020, until the time of application, plus an additional three months of future rent. Eligibility is limited to renters in Riverside County with a current

lease agreement who are earning 80% or below of the area’s median income and can document a loss of income due to COVID-19 economic impacts that leave them unable to make their rent. Assistance is provided without regard to immigration status. Priority will be given to households with incomes less than 50% of the area median income, as well as households with one or more adults that have not been employed during the 90 days before submitting their application. Landlords with tenants with unpaid debt balances are encouraged to notify their tenants about this program. More information on eligibility guidelines and the

application portal can be found at http://UnitedLift.org. United Lift partners will conduct extensive outreach through community networks and partnerships to ensure eligible Riverside County residents are aware of the available rental assistance and have all of the information they need to successfully apply. In-person application events will be scheduled for this spring and beyond. Staff and volunteers are currently processing a waitlist of over 3,000 households who applied for, but did not receive, the first round of United Lift assistance in 2020.

Law enforcement plans operations to 4.0 earthquake and two foreshocks shake SoCal deter distracted driving City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Law enforcement personnel throughout Riverside County will be stepping up efforts next month to nab motorists who talk on their mobile phones without hands-free devices, text, groom themselves or engage in other behaviors that can lead to traffic accidents. April is “Distracted Driving Awareness Month,” and the California Office of Traffic Safety has supplied multiple agencies in the county with funding for targeted enforcement operations. “Distracted driving is a serious issue, but one that can be easily solved simply by putting the phone

down,” Hemet police Chief Eddie Pust said. “That text, phone call, email or social media post can wait.” Hemet police officers initiated a distracted driving crackdown Thursday, April 1, while Riverside ounty sheriff’s deputies are planning operations on various days in Coachella, Eastvale, Jurupa Valley and San Jacinto. “When you are driving, give the phone a rest,” Deputy Ray Cortez of the San acinto sheriff’s station said. “A driver’s No. 1 focus should be on the road. Anything that distracts you from the task of driving, especially a phone, puts you at risk.” State law prohibits a motor-

ist from holding a phone or any electronic device while operating a vehicle, and drivers under 18 years old are not permitted to use a phone for any reason – even hands-free. A first-time driver cellphone violation can result in a $157 ticket, authorities said. “The goal is to increase compliance with the hands-free cellphone law and keep people safe,” Cortez said. A statewide survey in 2020 found that 75% of those polled listed other people’s “distracted driving because of texting” as an overriding safety concern for them on the road.

No damage was reported. The largest – a sharp, magnitude 4.0, according to the U.S. Geological Survey – was at 4:44 a.m., about a mile east-northeast of Lennox, near the Los Angeles International Airport. “The magnitude 4.0 that just happened was under Lennox, near Inglewood. Very deep at 20 km, so everyone is at least 20 km away. Would have been felt by most people awake in LA. Movement was thrust, probably not on any mapped fault,” earthquake expert Lucy ones tweeted. She is founder of the Dr. Lucy Jones Center for Science and Society. The first quake, downgraded from Answers from puzzl

It was felt from the South Bay to the Montebello area, and to the Burbank area, according to the U.S. Geological Society. A 2.5-magnitude earthquake was felt within a minute later and was centered 0.62 miles northwest of Lennox. The first two were foreshocks, Jones said. The third quake was more widely felt around the Southland. “All the events are at the same depth,” Jones said. The Los Angeles County Fire Department and sheriff’s department both said no damage was reported. “A 4.0 earthquake in Inglewood shook the L.A. area this morning,” Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti tweeted. “Our @LAFD conducted its routine survey of the city of L.A. and reports no damage.”

Task force targets SoCal narcotics ring allegedly headed by Perris man City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Authorities arrested eight defendants named in a federal grand jury indictment Thursday, April 1, alleging their involvement in a drug trafficking organization operating in Los Angeles and Riverside counties that distributed large quantities of methamphetamine, heroin, fentanyl and other narcotics across the United States. Those eight and nine others who are still being sought by authorities are charged in the 20-count indictment that outlines an 18-month investigation that led to multiple seizures of narcotics, firearms and $1.5 million in drug proceeds, according to the U.S. attorney’s office. The indictment alleged that the drug ring was headed by Rigoberto

Sanchez Martinez, 36, of Perris, who obtained wholesale quantities of narcotics, oversaw their storage and coordinated distribution of the drugs to locations that included the states of Washington and New York. Martinez was one of the eight defendants arrested Thursday. The first major seizure in the investigation, according to the indictment, was May 25, 2018, when authorities recovered about 120 pounds of meth, nearly 2.2 pounds of cocaine and more than 55 pounds of marijuana from a stash house near Whittier High School that was allegedly maintained by defendants Rogelio Barajas, 39, who is a fugitive, and Irene Equigua, 40, who was arrested Thursday. Some of the narcotics allegedly seized by investigators were stored

in coolers that had been buried in the backyard of the residence. On the same day law enforcement seized the narcotics in Whittier, Martinez allegedly called the operator of another stash house and instructed him to take narcotics and drug proceeds and “wrap them and cover them with items such as Vicks Vapo ub, coffee, pepper and powdered soap, dig a deep hole and bury the drugs in the ground,” according to the indictment filed in Los Angeles federal court. During the following year, investigators made several other seizures, including about $240,000 in cash and numerous firearms seized from a drug courier returning from a trip to Washington; $1,041,970 in cash recovered from a residence in see N ARC O TIC S, page C-6

County supervisors declare April National Child Abuse Prevention Month RIVERSIDE COUNTY – The Riverside County Board of Supervisors recognized April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month, Tuesday, March 30, emphasizing the role that strong community partnerships play in preventing abuse and neglect before it starts. “Child maltreatment can negatively impact the health and wellbeing of victims throughout their lives,” Karen Spiegel, board chair and District 2 supervisor, said. “We are a better community and a more compassionate society when we value and protect the well-being of our children. Communities must make every effort to promote programs and activities that create strong and thriving children and families.” In the last fiscal year, iverside County caseworkers responded to 51,500 reports of child abuse and neglect. More than 3 million cases of suspected abuse and neglect are reported annually nationwide. About three of every four cases reported are due to neglect. Despite

the statistics, experts said abuse and neglect can be prevented. “Each child deserves to live in a healthy and supportive community that is committed to acting and safeguarding against emotional, physical and sexual abuse,” harity Douglas, assistant director of Children’s Services for the county Department of Public Social Services, said. Douglas, whose department collaborates with public, private and faith-based partners to meet the needs of the children and families in the nation’s 10th most populous county, said children suffer in silence. “They carry immense guilt and shame because of sexual abuse. As children become adults, if their pain is unresolved, it impacts them in every area of their lives,” Douglas said. Dr. Sophia Grant, medical director for the Riverside County Child Assessment and Sexual Assault and Forensic Examination teams at Riverside University Health

System Medical Center, likened the interdisciplinary work of the partners who prevent and respond to child abuse and neglect to a puzzle. “Nobody is more important. Without one person, we are incomplete,” Grant said. “Together, we form a complete picture.” This year’s theme is “Thriving Children and Families: Prevention with Purpose.” Riverside County residents were encouraged to advocate for children and families during Child Abuse Prevention Month this April. Attend this year’s virtual Children’s Conference Thursday, April 29, from 9 a.m. to noon to learn about best practices for working with Riverside County children and youth and topics related to their well-being and safety.

US grant to Wuhan lab to enhance bat-based coronaviruses was never scrutinized by HHS review board, NIH says Andrew Kerr THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION

The National Institutes of Health has “systematically thwarted” government oversight of dangerous pathogen research, Richard H. Ebright, professor of chemical biology at Rutgers University, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The P3CO Review Framework was created in 2017 after a threeyear pause on government funding of research that intentionally makes pathogens more deadly or transmissible. An NIH grant that involved the modification of bat-based coronaviruses and the transfer of $600,000 to the Wuhan Institute of Virology before the pandemic bypassed P3CO review because the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, didn’t flag the project for review. An oversight board created to scrutinize research that would enhance highly dangerous pathogens did not review a National Institutes of Health grant that funded a lab in Wuhan, China, to genetically modify bat-based coronaviruses. Experts said the NIH grant describes scientists conducting gainof-function research, a risky area of study that, in this case, made SARS-like viruses even more contagious. Federal funding for gainof-function research was temporarily suspended in 2014 due to widespread scientific concerns it risked leaking supercharged viruses into the human population. Federal funding for gain-of-function research was resumed in late 2017 after the Potential Pandemic

Pathogens Control and Oversight Framework was formed within the Department of Health and Human Services. The review board is tasked with critically evaluating whether grants that involve enhancing dangerous pathogens, such as coronaviruses, are worth the risks and that proper safeguards are in place. But the NIH subagency that awarded the grant to the nonprofit group EcoHealth Alliance to study Chinese bat coronaviruses opted against forwarding it to the P3CO committee, an NIH representative told the Daily Caller News Foundation, meaning the research received federal funding without an independent review by the HHS board. “This is a systemic problem,” Ebright told the DCNF, referring to the loophole in the review framework. Ebright said the offices of the director for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases – the subagency that funded EcoHealth – and the NIH have “systematically thwarted – indeed systematically nullified the HHS P O Framework by declining to flag and forward proposals for review.” Fauci leads the NIAID and Dr. Francis S. Collins heads the NIH. An NIH representative said its subagency did not flag the EcoHealth grant for independent review by the HHS review committee. “After careful review of the grant, NIAID determined research in the grant was not gain-of-function research because it did not involve the enhancement of the pathogenicity or transmissibility of the viruses studied,” the representative told the DCNF. “We would not submit

research proposals that did not meet the definition, because otherwise we would need to submit everything.” ow ederal o ersi ht o ai o tio resear h is assed The Wuhan Institute of Virology is at the center of widespread speculation that COVID-19 could have accidentally leaked from a lab into the human population. EcoHealth’s grant to study bat-based coronaviruses in China included the transfer of $600,000 to the WIV. Had EcoHealth’s grant been subjected to P3CO review, an HHS panel would have independently evaluated the grant and, if necessary, recommended additional biocontainment measures to prevent potential lab leaks – or even recommended that the grant be denied entirely. The WIV is a biosafety level 4 laboratory, the highest level biocontainment certification, but U.S. Embassy officials issued two diplomatic cables warning about inadequate safety at the lab after a visit in 2018. One of the cables warned that the lab’s work on bat-based coronaviruses represented the risk of a new SARS-like pandemic, according to The Washington Post. An annex to the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 origin report released Tuesday describes the WIV’s work using “recombinant viruses” in tests involving bat coronaviruses, which Ebright said are descriptions of gain-of-function research. The U.S. government paused funding of gain-of-function research in 2014 after lab workers were accidentally exposed to anthrax by the Centers for Disease Control, according to The New York Times. The incident came on the heels of widespread scientific outcry in 2011 when it was revealed that laboratories in Wisconsin and the Netherlands were intentionally modifying the H5N1 bird flu virus so it could more effectively jump between ferrets. Federally funded gain-of-function research resumed in 2017 after new oversight procedures were implemented. The review framework split oversight responsibilities between two groups – the funding agency, which is the NIAID in the case of the EcoHealth grant, and the P3CO Review Committee, an interdisciplinary group convened by HHS. The committee is responsible for recommending whether a research grant involving gain-of-function needs to include any additional risk mitigation measures, an HHS representative told the DCNF. But the committee is kept in the dark on any grant until the funding agency flags one for its review. The P3CO Framework doesn’t require the HHS review committee to take a second look at the NIAID’s determination following its review that the EcoHealth grant did not involve gain-of-function research. The NIH representative said it would be “misleading and inaccurate” to suggest NIAID was required to notify the HHS review committee of its determination. An HHS representative confirmed that the department’s P3CO Review Committee only reviews research

grants that are flagged for additional review by funding agencies such as NIAID. The representative did not answer when asked if the review committee had knowledge of the EcoHealth grant. Ecohealth has a history of manipulating bat-based coronaviruses. The group’s president, Peter Daszak, said as much during a podcast interview filmed in Singapore just weeks before the first reported cases of OVID-1 in Wuhan in December 2019. “You can manipulate them in the lab pretty easily,” Daszak said. “Spike protein drives a lot of what happens with the coronavirus. Z oonotic risk. So you can get the sequence, you can build the protein – and we work with Ralph Baric at (the University of North Carolina) to do this – and insert the backbone of another virus and do some work in the lab.” Ebright told the DCNF that NIAID was wrong to determine that the EcoHealth grant did not involve enhancing the transmissibility of Chinese bat-based coronaviruses. He said the project’s abstract for the 201 fiscal year, which referenced “in vitro and in vivo infection experiments” on coronaviruses, “‘unequivocally’ required risk-benefit review under the HHS P3CO Framework.” Other scientists have said EcoHealth’s NIH-funded work in China involved gain-of-function research on bat-based coronaviruses. “It is hard to overemphasize that the central logic of this grant was to test the pandemic potential of SARSrelated bat coronaviruses by making ones with pandemic potential, either through genetic engineering or passaging, or both,” Drs. Jonathan Latham and Allison Wilson wrote in June. The NIH terminated the EcoHealth grant in April 2020. NIH deputy director for extramural research, Michael Lauer, told the group in a letter that the agency “does not believe that the current project outcomes align with the program goals and agency priorities.” Fauci said during a hearing before the House Energy & Commerce Committee in June that the EcoHealth grant was canceled “because the NIH was told to cancel it.” “I don’t know the reason, but we were told to cancel it,” Fauci said. Fauci told Politico following the hearing that former President Donald Trump’s White House ordered the NIH to cancel the grant. o i ial a owled ed o er e t o ersi ht o ai o tio resear h is ﬂawed The only known member of the HHS P3CO Review Committee is its chair, Chris Hassell, the senior science adviser for the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response. He disclosed his involvement in a January 2020 talk before the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity. Hassell said during the talk that the current definition for a potential pandemic pathogen is “very narrow … which has resulted in only getting a few influenza-related proposals” for the committee’s review. “I’ll just probably be more frank than maybe appropriate – I think

that’s too narrow,” Hassell said, who then suggested that the government could be funding gain-of-function research that his committee hasn’t vetted. “I think that could be revisited, and again there could be some definition issues,” Hassell said. When gain-of-function funding was paused in 2014, 21 research projects were halted. But the NIH created exceptions for 10 of those, according to The New York Times. After the funding continued in 2017, only two projects have been approved in accordance with the P3CO Framework. Both projects deal with the influenza virus, according to the NIH. It’s unclear how many research grants have been reviewed under the framework. An NIH representative said they don’t comment or discuss unfunded grant applications. It’s also unclear who else serves on the HHS P3CO Review Committee. Hassell said in January 2020 that the committee is comprised only of federal employees but said it could be detrimental to their work to release their names. “As much as it would be good to publicize the individual names, which has been suggested, if that chills anyone being willing to serve on that committee, that would be detrimental,” Hassell said. An HHS representative said Hassell was unavailable for comment. E leanor Bartow contributed to this report.

A ghostly border video reveals the dangers for migrant children Peter Prengaman THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A border wall. Smugglers. Small children being dropped into America in the darkness. A grainy video released Wednesday, March 31, by authorities – its figures visible only in ghostly white outline, its stark storyline dramatic and obvious – captures, in mere seconds, the dangers for migrant children at the southern U.S. border. A man straddling a 14-foot barrier near Santa Teresa, New Mexico, lowers a toddler while holding onto one arm. With the child dangling, he lets go. She lands on her feet, then falls forward face first into the dirt. The smuggler does the same thing with a slightly larger child, who falls on her feet and then her bottom. Then the smuggler and another man run off into the desert, deeper into Mexico. The simple scene caught by a remote camera is an extreme case. But it embodies so much of the saga playing out on the border amid a spike in migrant arrivals, particularly children. There is implied desperation – a family willing to subject their children to such risks in hopes of changing their future. There is the callousness of the smugglers handling children like rag dolls. The hope of those who send the children is that they will eventually be reunited with family in the U.S. But the risks to get to that point are enormous. Border Patrol agents tell stories of babies and children thrown into the river to divert Border Patrol attention from people crossing into the country. They can come from traveling without parents. They can come from the actual crossing, whether by river, crammed into a vehicle or on foot through the desert and traversing a wall; last year, a woman

died after falling from a barrier in the Santa Teresa area where the girls were found. Finally, the risks can come from unscrupulous smugglers. “People considering using the services of smugglers need to know that smugglers don’t have the kids’ best interest at heart. It’s entirely too dangerous,” Maier said, who added this information about the girls being dropped: “Had it not been an area that was monitored, these children would have been fending for themselves.” A 2017 Doctors Without Borders report found a significant number of migrants reported in their journey to the U.S. sexual violence, unwanted sex and transactional sex in exchange for shelter, protection or for money, the report said. “...out of the 429 migrants and refugees that answered sexual and gender-based violence) questions, 31.4% of women and 17.2% of men had been sexually abused during their transit through Mexico,” the report said. Children were not immune from the danger. For immigrant advocates, scenes like this one underscore why immigration laws need to be overhauled with a focus on unifying families and making legal immigration easier. For many opponents of such reform, scenes like this one are confirmation that the nation’s rule of law isn’t being respected, that a reform of immigration policies could never even be contemplated while such things are happening. And Americans of all political stripes may debate what circumstances, if any, justify parents taking such actions. While such debates happen, thousands of migrants from Mexico, Central America and countries further south are arriving every day to the Mexico-U.S. border. Many are fleeing violence or other

hardships in their home countries. Others are simply looking for better economic opportunities. They arrive by boat or wade through the io rande in Texas, or come on land into California, Arizona and New Mexico. Many are children traveling alone. Border authorities encountered more than 9,000 children without a parent in February, the highest single month since May 2019, when more than 11,000 unaccompanied minors came to the border. Unlike their parents in many situations, all unaccompanied minors are allowed to stay in the U.S. That dynamic has prompted many parents to either send children on

the journey to America alone, or get to the border and let them go the rest of the way. Most end up at least temporarily in shelters that are currently way beyond capacity. Border authorities said the children caught on video were sisters, ages 3 and 5, and from Ecuador. They were found alert, taken to a hospital and cleared of any physical injuries. As of Thursday, they remained at a Border Patrol temporary holding facility pending placement by the U.S. Health and Human Services Department. The girls’ mother is in the United States, and authorities are in contact with her, Roger Maier, a representative for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, told The

Associated Press Thursday. Maier couldn’t provide more details. Many children arriving alone have relatives in the United States. If they are too young to remember names or phone numbers, as these girls likely were, they may come with contact information written down on paper or directly on their bodies. After being processed by the Border Patrol, they are transferred to Health and Human Services. Eventually they will be released to a sponsor, usually a parent or close relative.

Gunman in Southern California mass shooting knew his victims The Associated Press SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The gunman who killed four people and critically wounded a fifth at a Southern alifornia office building knew all the victims and apparently before opening fire chained shut the gates to two entrances, delaying police from getting inside, authorities said Thursday, April 1. Among the victims of the “horrific massacre” Wednesday afternoon, March 31, was a 9-year-old boy who was found cradled in the arms of a woman believed to be his mother, Orange County district attorney Todd Spitzer said. The woman was the only survivor among those shot. The others killed were a man and two women. “Our hearts today go out to the victims, and I’m here to tell you that we’re going to do everything in our power in the Orange ounty district attorney’s office to get justice for these families,” Spitzer said. He said he will consider seeking the death penalty. The violence in the city of Orange was the nation’s third major mass shooting in just over two weeks. Last week a gunman opened fire at a supermarket in Boulder, Colorado, and killed 10. A week before that, six Asian women were among eight people killed at three Atlanta-area spas. The suspect in the California shooting was identified as Aminadab axiola onzalez, . He was critically wounded. It was unclear whether he suffered a self-inflicted wound or was shot by police. Gonzalez knew all the victims either personally or through business, police said. They said the precise relationships were still being determined. No names of the victims were officially released. However, a family member identified one victim as Luis Tovar, 0, who owned Unified Homes, a mobile home brokerage company. “Our world is shattered,” 28-year-old Vania Tovar, one of Tovar’s five children, told the Orange County Register. Gonzalez was from nearby Fullerton but was driving a rental car and staying at a motel in Anaheim, which borders Orange and is southeast of Los Angeles. Police said he placed bicycle locks on two entrances to a two-story building that houses a variety of businesses.

The shooting occurred around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, and police said Gonzalez targeted people at Unified Homes. Police released a still image from security video showing the gunman inside the business wearing a bandana, brandishing a semi-automatic handgun and with a backpack that police said contained ammunition, pepper spray and handcuffs. Police received multiple reports of gunshots, and officers were on the scene within two minutes, Orange police Lt. Jennifer Amat said. unfire could be heard as officers arrived and the suspect fired at them, Amat said. Officers fired back from behind the fence until the locks securing the gates from the inside could be cut. Once inside, they found the victims and wounded gunman. The incident was over within several minutes, Amat said. Tim Smith’s home is separated from the office’s parking lot by a backyard wooden fence. He was in the back of his house when he heard a volley of three gunshots, then a volley of three and a final volley of four. “The first words I heard after the shots were fired were Don’t move or I will shoot you,’” Smith, 64, recounted Thursday morning. Smith said he heard that repeated twice more by a man’s voice and believes it was a police officer speaking. He did not hear other voices or more shots. He later peeked over the fence and saw SWAT officers marching in a line in the building’s courtyard. “It saddens me so much,” he said. “A senseless loss of life.” Scott Clark, who is owner of Calco Financial that is two doors down from Unified Homes, described Luis Tovar as hard-working. “He’s there day and night,” Clark said. lark left his office Wednesday, around 4:45 p.m., earlier than usual. “I must have had an angel from God watching out for me to make me leave an hour before I usually do,” he said. Clark said he has worked out of the building for about 21 years, and Unified Homes has been in that location for seven or eight years. He said they expanded to a second suite about a year ago, and both offices were on the second level. Clark said he has seen about

10 people working inside Unified Homes but doesn’t know them well. He said he has chatted with Tovar, sometimes inviting him inside his own office to take a break. Since the pandemic began, Clark said parents would often bring their children to work. He did not know anything about the 9-year-old victim and did not recognize the shooter’s name. Gonzalez was charged in 2015

in Orange County with cruelty to a child and other counts. It’s not clear if the child was his. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery and served one day in jail. All other counts were dismissed, and the conviction was expunged in 2017, Lauren Gold, representative for the city of Anaheim, said. Orange is about 30 miles from Los Angeles and home to about 140,000 people. The shooting

was the worst in the city since December 1997, when a gunman armed with an assault rifle attacked a California Department of Transportation maintenance yard. Arturo Reyes Torres, 41, an equipment operator who had been fired six weeks earlier, killed four people and wounded others, including a police officer, before police killed him.

FAITH

Is Easter inconvenient for you? new clothes. My wife does that as I am forbidden to shop for myself. As fun as all of that sounds, we know, or at least we should know, that Easter is much more than bunnies, eggs or things colored in pastel. It’s about Jesus rising from the dead and leaving the tomb empty. It is the pinnacle truth of the Christian faith. It’s so crucial, in fact, that if Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, there wouldn’t be a “Christian faith” to begin with. Or at least there wouldn’t be faith that’s worth believing. The hallmark of our faith would be dead. Not too unlike a lot of other religious dead guys. Our simple belief is, “Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said,” in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4. But for many, it’s an inconvenient truth. For some, life would be easier if Jesus hadn’t risen from the dead. You see a dead Jesus can’t

It’s Easter again. That time of the year when people fill Easter baskets and eggs, buy new outfits and invite the family over for lunch. Some might even go to church for the first time in a long time. Truth be told, I will be doing all of those things. I think they’re fun. Except I won’t be buying myself

challenge you to turn away from sin and follow him. He never gets in the way of your life and what you want to do. And won’t ask you to give your time, talent and treasure to building his kingdom. He’ll never send you on a Great Commission to go and make more followers of him. A dead Jesus won’t hold you to a sexually moral and biblically based life. He won’t challenge you to be holy in what you say, do and think. He can’t tell you that you have to be a servant of all if you want to be great. A dead Jesus is very convenient, because faith in a dead Jesus is a dead faith. As convenient as a dead Jesus might be, however, the benefits of a risen living Jesus far outweigh them all. A living Jesus forgives your sins, making you right with God for all eternity. He heals your heart and your hurts. He fills you with hope, joy and the power of his Holy Spirit. He promises you a

home in heaven with him, because he actually wants you around. A risen Jesus listens to your prayers, your deepest struggles and never leaves you even when you’re at your worst. That’s extremely convenient. Actually, it’s more than that. It’s life changing. That’s why I say, thanks be to God, Jesus is alive and well because he rose from the grave. And he does what only the living God can do. He saves. As esus said, “I am the first and the last. I am the living one. I died, but look – I am alive forever and ever. And I hold the keys of death and the grave,” in Revelation 1:17-18. So, what is Easter to you Is the truth of Jesus’ resurrection from the grave inconvenient because you want to live for yourself Or is it the convenient life-changing, eternity-altering, sin-forgiving truth you need right now When Jesus rose from the grave, he proved to the world that he was who he said: the God of heaven

and earth. The wonderfully convenient truth is that “whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life,” in John 3:16. My challenge to you is to remember what Easter is about every day. The truth that Jesus is alive and well. Think about it: What can you do this Easter to celebrate the living esus What church service are you going to so you can worship esus erse o the a “Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said.” 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Z achary E lliott is the lead pastor of F usion C hristian C hurch in Temecula.

We need to strengthen this community with its inherent values of compassion, respect, love and hope which are necessary for sustaining life in all communities. “Churches play a strong role infusing these values into this com-

The Interfaith Council of Hemet and San Jacinto in a recent news release urged residents of all faiths to “attend a house of worship” regularly. Many area residents attended Easter worship services Sunday, April 4, following state and county COVID-19 guidelines. “It doesn’t matter which house

munity by concentrating on spirituality. The truest fruits of spirit are love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control,” according to the council. Their statement continued, “Religion is the first sense of meaningful community. Your sense of community occurs by reason of mutual experience with others. A survey was done of some general public in this valley on why people

go to church. Here is what they had to say: ‘To meet people who care about the same things as we do;’ ‘It helps people with problems face life;’ ‘It is a stabilizing foundation in people’s lives;’ ‘Church is their extended family very important;’ ‘It makes them feel good about themselves’ and ‘It gives them a feeling of security.’” The council said, “We must stress the basic values that are common to all religions: compas-

sion, solidarity and respect for the human person.” The council shared a message for all of the residents of southwest Riverside County: “Attend a house of worship, it doesn’t matter which house of worship. It is just important to attend.” For more information on the Interfaith Council, email H emetSJ I nterfaith@gmail.com. Tony Ault can be reached by email at tault@reedermedia.com.

Rattlesnakes abound in the Anza Valley

serpents as they search for food. To hunt, a rattlesnake utilizes heat-sensing organs on each side of its face, called loreal pits, that help them locate prey. Snake species that have these organs are called pit vipers, a group that includes rattlesnakes, water moccasins and copperheads. Rattlers have dead skin “buttons” on the end of their tails that form a rattle that makes a hissing noise when the snake vibrates it in fear or anger. They can warn against contact – or not. Sometimes a rattler does not rattle at all and may strike nonetheless. Rattlesnakes are also potently venomous; however, bites to humans are not all that common. But when a bite occurs, the results

can be devastating. The venom damages tissue and affects the circulatory system by destroying skin tissues and blood cells and by causing internal hemorrhaging. Scarring, bruising, localized pain, massive swelling, discoloration and blood degeneration as well as nausea and vomiting can occur. Without prompt treatment, or if someone has a major allergic reaction to the venom, a rattlesnake bite can be fatal. The California Poison Control Center records about 800 bites each year statewide, with one to two deaths, according to the state Department of Fish and Game. Rattlesnakes give birth to live young and are therefore considered ovoviviparous. The females produce eggs and retain them inside their body until the eggs hatch, at which time she will give birth to fully developed baby snakes. This form of reproduction leads to a higher survival rate for the offspring, as the creatures’ eggs are not eaten by predators. There are several species of rattlesnakes in Southern California, including the Speckled, Crotalus mitchellii, Red Diamond, Crotalus ruber and Southern Pacific, rotalus oreganus helleri, rattlesnakes. All are venomous. If you suddenly find yourself in the company of a rattlesnake, remain calm and think clearly. Slowly move away from the animal and keep your distance. The snake will not chase you; they want to be left alone. Sometimes they give a warning to their location. When fright-

trainees were honored including Alex Alcala, Richard Fierro, Vivian Hamilton, Lovina Redner and Garret Marcus, who died before the ceremony and was posthumously honored. His family received his certificate on his behalf. Tribal trainee Vivian Hamilton expressed her gratitude to GRID IE for participating in the project. “I am very proud of the work my teammates and I accomplished,” she said. Additionally, she said that she beams with joy at the sight of the project and is happy that her grandchildren can tell people: “My grandmother helped build this solar project! ” GRID IE serves Riverside, San Bernardino and Inyo counties, providing disadvantaged communities throughout the Inland Empire with long-term relief from unpredictable utility costs, while training individuals for positions in the solar industry. GRID’s Tribal Program helps tribal communities become selfsustaining by providing resources to assist with their clean energy goals. Renewable energy can drive economic growth and environmental benefits in communities including tribal reservations that are most impacted by underemployment, pollution and climate change. To date, GRID IE has installed solar for over 2,100 families and helped households and housing providers save $62 million in lifetime electricity costs, while training over 2,800 people. The California Department of Community Services and Development’s Low-Income Weatherization Program Community Solar Pilot is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide initiative that puts billions of cap-and-trade dol-

lars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment, particularly in disadvantaged communities. The state partners with nonprofit organizations and local governments dedicated to helping low-income individuals and families achieve and maintain economic security, meet their home energy needs and reduce their utility costs through energy efficiency upgrades and access to clean renewable energy. Anza Electric Cooperative Inc., which first energized in 1 , is a member of Touchstone Energy – the national brand of electric cooperatives – providing power to the mountain communities of Anza, Garner Valley, Pinyon Pines and parts of Aguanga. AEC’s service area is nearly 700 square miles of high desert with an elevation at roughly 4,000 feet where winter weather can sometimes be a challenge. Anza is located at an almost equal distance from Palm Desert, Hemet and Temecula in Riverside County in Southern California. The Santa Rosa Indian Reservation is located in Riverside County, between Palm Springs and Anza, and occupies 11,630 acres of land. Currently, there are 141 recognized tribal members. Approximately 144 individuals live on the reservation. The people of Sew’ia are one of eight Cahuilla Bands which include Cahuilla, Ramona, Los Coyotes, Torres-Martinez, Augustine, Cabazon, Agua Caliente and Morongo.

Rattlesnake sightings and interactions have been on the increase since warm weather has returned to the Anza Valley. As temperatures increase, so do the reptiles’ activity levels. So far this season, there have been dozens of reported rattler sightings. The animals are becoming more mobile as the weather warms up and residents should be alert for unintended contact. The winter rains have resulted in a population explosion of the snakes’ preferred prey – small rodents like mice, rats and ground squirrels. The increase in prey in turn encourages movement of the ARRAY fro

members of Anza Electric Cooperative over a 30-year period. Electricity generated from the system will benefit Santa osa Band of Cahuilla Indian Tribe homes and also provide electric discounts for up to 200 qualified lowincome utility customers within the AE . This project reflected the collaborative spirit of this small rural community coming together for the benefit of those less fortunate, officials said. In addition, due to the size of the project, building the system consisted of a team of GRID construction staff and tribal trainees who were recruited to assist. The ribbon-cutting event was attended by Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indian tribal council and tribal members, including Tribal Chair Lovina Redner, Tribal Vice Chair Steven Esparza, and Tribal Administrator Vanessa Minott. Additional attendees included Kevin Short, general manager of AEC; Debbie Skallerud with All Mission Indian Housing Agency, Jaime Alonso, executive director of GRID IE, and several GRID IE staff. “Anza Electric is thrilled to partner with the Santa Rosa Tribe and GRID Alternatives to bring low-cost community solar to our membership,” Short said. “More information regarding participation in the program will be released very soon.” Short was accompanied by Brian Baharie, operations manager of AEC, and government relations liaison Jennifer Miller. Alonso gave an overview about the project and the impact it will have on the Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indian tribal community, as well as AEC members. Five tribal

ings where they are protected on one side. Never hike alone. Always have someone with you who can assist in an emergency. Do not handle a freshly killed snake, as it can still inject venom. Teach children early to respect snakes and to leave them alone. Leash your dog when hiking in snake country. Dogs are at increased risk of being bitten due to holding their nose to the ground while investigating the outdoors. Speak to your veterinarian about canine rattlesnake vaccines and what to do if your pet is bitten. There are also rattlesnake aversion training courses for dogs. To discourage rattlers from your property, eliminate their food source. Keep animal feed and trash contained to keep rodents away, and clear brush that may be used by small animals as shelter. There are many myths involving these interesting snakes. It is not true that juveniles are more venomous than adults. There is no published data to suggest that baby rattlers inject more venom or that they lack control of how much venom they expend. Gopher snakes have not crossbred with rattlesnakes, as some people claim. They are separate species and cannot interbreed. Be snake smart, be snake informed and be snake safe this summer. If you need a snake removed, call Riverside County Animal Services at 951-358-7387. D iane Siek er can be reached by email at dsiek er@reedermedia. com.

ened, rattlesnakes rattle or buzz as a warning to not step on them and to stay away. If you hear one before you see it, stay still until you see the snake or know exactly where it is. Move slowly away from it. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife offered the following advice. Be alert. Like all reptiles, rattlesnakes are sensitive to the ambient temperature and will adjust their behavior accordingly. After a cold or cool night, they will attempt to raise their body temperature by basking in the sun midmorning. To prevent overheating during hot days of spring and summer, they will become more active at dawn, dusk or night. Wear sturdy boots and loosefitting long pants. Never go barefoot or wear sandals when walking through brushy, wild areas. Startled rattlesnakes may not rattle before striking defensively. W hen hiking, stick to wellused trails. Avoid tall grass, weeds and heavy underbrush where snakes may hide during the day. Do not step or put your hands where you cannot see. Step on logs and rocks, never over them and be especially careful when climbing rocks or gathering firewood. Check out stumps or logs before sitting down, and shake out sleeping bags before use. Never grab sticks or branches while swimming in lakes and rivers. Rattlesnakes can swim. Be careful when stepping over doorsteps as well. Snakes like to crawl along the edge of build-

sure your old, faithful automobile continues to run well or your new vehicle will last a long time. heck engine fluids, belts, radiator hoses, tires and brakes. Winter takes a toll on these components

and once the weather improves, it is a good idea to give them the attention they deserve. A broken radiator hose or belt could leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere. Change your car’s oil and air filters regularly. Oil viscosity can break down over time, and to make sure your engine can work at optimum levels, fresh oil helps it perform at its best. Check all fluids, including brake, coolant, transmission, power steering and windshield washer fluids. During the winter months, fluids are easily depleted as your engine has worked harder in the colder, harsher weather conditions. According to the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, overheating is the greatest cause of summer breakdowns, so keep an eye on those coolant levels. Don’t let your oil get low, as that also plays an important part in cooling your engine. Have your air conditioning looked at and serviced if needed. For those going to Palm Desert when it is 120 degrees, it will not be enjoyable if their AC has failed. Check your tires for excessive wear and proper inflation. Tires lose and gain pressure daily, depending on the outside tempera-

tures. In cooler weather, a tire can lose 1-2 pounds of air pressure per month. Keep on top of this issue for the best in tire wear, gas mileage and tire longevity. The vehicle’s suspension can take a beating on the roads during the winter, so having the alignment checked is a good idea. A misaligned front end will wear tires unevenly and cost money in the long run. Both cold weather and blistering temps can wear out a car’s battery. Have it checked by a qualified mechanic to make sure it is in good shape and not going to leave you stranded when the mercury hits the double digits. Have your brakes inspected. Traffic and inclement conditions can play havoc with your brake system. Warning signs that a brake job is imminent include grinding, screeching, squeaking, vibrations upon application, decreased stopping or chatter. With the end of winter, clean the car’s underbody and loosen all that hardened mud and debris from the chassis and fender wells. Blobs of dried mud can throw off the balance of tires, resulting in a wobble or vibration at certain speeds. D iane Siek er can be reached by email at dsiek er@reedermedia. com.

How to manage children’s screen time TEMECULA – Devices are everywhere in the digital age. The Statista Research Department said that a 2020 survey found the average American has access to more than 10 connected devices in his or her household. Though adults may be capable of governing their screen time, children may not be so disciplined. Devices can be valuable learning tools for young students, but the American Academy of Pediatrics said that excessive media use can put children at risk of obesity, lost sleep, addiction and violence, so parents should emphasize balance and moderation as they negotiate their children’s device usage. Helping parents establish and maintain that balance, the AAP developed its Family Media Plan, which parents can use to customize guidelines on screen time in their households. A family media plan can help parents ensure their children aren’t spending too much time staring at screens and it can serve as a valuable means to monitoring youngsters’ online lives, potentially alerting parents to instances of bullying or other dangerous situations. The following are some guidelines parents can follow as they customize their family media plans. Establish screen-free times and zones. Establishing a time of day when devices cannot be used and areas of the home where they should not be taken can help parents govern children’s screen times. For example, by establishing children’s bedrooms as screen-free zones, par-

ents can make sure children aren’t spending all of their time staring at screens when they’re behind closed bedroom doors. Research apps and programs. The AAP recommended parents research the age-appropriateness and ratings of apps and programs before installing them on devices. Speak with children’s teachers to determine which apps and programs children will need for school. Read fellow parents’ ratings before installing any entertainment apps and programs on devices children will use. Use tech to monitor tech. “Family Sharing” capabilities on Apple devices allow parents to manage devices and screen usage across the household. Parents can add children to their accounts and set daily time limits on apps children will use. They also can make certain apps off limits for children to

keep children safe. Other device manufacturers offer similar tools to help parents effectively monitor and control children’s device usage. Encourage new interests. Parents can help to control screen time by encouraging new interests and introducing children to new activities that do not involve screens. Commit time each weekend to activities that do not involve screens, such as hiking, gardening and painting. Exposing children to activities that don’t involve screens is a great way to get them off the couch and away from their devices. If children don’t take to a given activity, keep trying. Devices are a big part of life in the digital age. Parents can develop family plans that allow for screen time but also emphasize activities that call for some time away from our devices.

The initial vaccine supply was limited, and the first vaccines were provided to health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities. The continuing availability of the vaccines are enabling other groups to be vaccinated.

To take care of your heart, it’s important to know and track your blood pressure. Millions of Americans have high blood pressure, also called hypertension, but many don’t realize it or aren’t keeping it at a healthy level. For most adults, healthy blood pressure is 120 0 millimeters of mercury or less. Blood pressure consistently above 1 0 0

millimeters of mercury increases your risk for heart disease, kidney disease, eye damage, dementia and stroke. our doctor might recommend lowering your blood pressure if it’s between 120 0 and 1 0 0 and you have other risk factors for heart or blood vessel disease.

First they censored… And I did not speak out

Harold W. Pease, Ph.D. SPECIAL TO ANZA VALLEY OUTLOOK

Note: This is an American version of Pastor Martin Niemoller’s “First They Came for the Socialists.” Niemoller believed his German neighbors had been complicit through their silence in the Nazi imprisonment, persecution and murder of millions of fellow countrymen in World War II. I believe the same is happening in America. First they censored Alex Jones from his millions of followers for saying that socialism was coming to America and that censorship, coming with it, is opposite free speech and freedom, and I did not speak out – because I was not an Alex Jones fan. Then they tore down statues of America’s earliest explorers:

Father Junipero Serra and Christopher Columbus, and I did not speak out – because they were said to have treated the Indians badly, therefore they were racists. Then statues of President Andrew Jackson, an Indian hater, followed by Confederate Civil War generals: Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson etc. and I did not speak out – because statues had no real meaning and they were said to be racist. Then statues of the Founding Fathers: Thomas Jefferson, George Washington etc. and I did not speak out – because some had slaves and therefore were racists. Then statues of Abraham Lincoln were torn down, the greatest abolitionist in U.S. history and still I did not speak out – because, well because I was not bright enough to know that he was not a racist but the opposite. Then they set on fire St ohn’s Episcopal Church across from the White House. An Antifa leader next threatened to take down statues of Jesus Christ and burn the Bible and I did not speak out because – well they were just nonviolent activities and these socialist anarchists were just expressing themselves. Then they turned on all law enforcement beginning with ICE protecting our borders. Then on the police in our big cities, even promising to destroy them through no funding movements, and I did

not speak out – because they were racists – even when the police units and city councils were themselves predominantly black. Then for months they looted and set fire to downtown businesses of many large American cities: Seattle, Minneapolis, Portland etc. and I did not speak out – because my Democrat Party and my Democrat news outlets said that it was just right-wing propaganda and I believed them. Then church attendance was banned or limited because of COVID-19 and I did not speak out – because I was not a Christian, actually I did not speak out either when it was the beaches that were closed or limited. I just believed my Democrat Party leadership and my Democrat Party controlled news outlets when they told me to wear two masks and that it was good for me to lock myself up in my home for more than a year, and I was so naive. Then the 2020 presidential elections happened with hundreds of whistle blowers willing to perjure themselves testifying under oath that they witnessed massive cheating by the Democrat Party. Moreover, military intelligence documented that China had electronically switched millions of Trump votes to Biden giving him the presidency and I did not speak out – because it was only the Republicans that said this

and my media always told me the Republicans, especially the nearly 75 million who voted for Trump, were all liars, racists and white supremacists and I believed them. Then they censored a president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, and I did not speak out – because my media and party told me that he was a racist, sexist, xenophobic and a White supremacist and I still believed them. Then they censored everything negative against Joe Biden and I said nothing – because I believed my party and their media that we needed to stop disinformation. If only one side can express itself then there is only disinformation. Then they attacked the Constitution that would have prevented all the above from happening had we just followed it as written and I still said nothing – because my party and news sources said that it was a racist document founded by racist White men to protect racism, and I believed them. Now it is nearly destroyed and so is freedom and I am a slave to the state. All who did not submit are now in reeducation camps or have been removed for spreading disinformation. I should have defended these attacks on liberty but didn’t. Where there is no other side, there is no one left to speak for me because I did not speak for them. Now oppression and tyranny rule because people like me were the most

gullible in American History. I could have spoken out but chose to be complacent instead and now liberty and the onstitution suffer for my ignorance. Except – then they came for me because I was White. They said all Whites were systemically racist, and Whites needed to be reeducated and self-condemning for what they had done to America. Now I speak up – because it is a lie. I never offended anyone of a different race. Then my eyes were opened and I noticed that those saying and doing these horrifying things to America were also largely White and used mostly fabricated racism as a tool to make the least racist country on earth a socialist country. Now I will fight to the death alongside my Black, brown, red and yellow brothers and sisters to defend the Constitution that gives all universal freedom. I will no longer be a useful idiot for the socialist left. D r. H arold P ease is a syndicated columnist and an ex pert on the U nited States C onstitution.
